DoD says...Richards

[W2Racing09]

Half the times they went head to head.

The other half of the times Richards still beat him though.

Thanks,
Jeff.

could Bobby have snuck in there had he not had a flat at the Show Me... memory serves me that Pierce was taking lead over Owens..
Also Bobby really didn't do anything during speedweeks and I wonder had he won a couple shows down there could he have possibly got #1 and been justified
JD was clear runaway in 2015 so it was nice to have more than 1 driver have a chance this year & 2017 can't get here soon enough

Wasn't there another driver of th year award before DoD done it? I thought it was something like, rpm driver of the year?

Whatever happened to that deal?

Without diving into it, it is certainly less than definitive.

He beat Bloomquist 7-5 in the remaining races of the season following Speedweeks. I agree it isn't definitive, but I'm sure that is factored into the reasoning. Without even considering the head to head or Speedweeks it isn't definitive either. But since there is no point to removing either of those facts (Speedweeks, and the Head to Head during and after Speedweeks) then I do think it becomes definitive. Richards had an excellent complete year, at no point in the season was Bloomquist much better than Richards. They both had streaks but during the season they were the only two drivers at their level. Maybe Speedweeks is the deciding factor, but there is nothing wrong with that because those races did occur and Richards was dominant in most of them.

Thanks,
Jeff.

Ya'll do realize it's DOD's opinion on who they think the driver of the year is don't you ? They are not deciding for each of us individually.If Lucas had a driver of the year I'm sure it would be Bloonquist,WOO would be RichardsThe amount of bickering over someone's opinion is comical.Carry on.

No, we all had no idea DoD put this out as an opinion based rating.

They ranked it right by anyone who looks at it unbiased.

Let me try to simplify this for some that are seeming to struggle with the facts.

Scott and Josh raced head to head 23 times. Josh finished ahead of Bloomer 16 times. Do the math.

Josh entered 11 Lucas events.

He won 6 of those.

He was top 3 ten times. That means he was top 3 in every Lucas event except for 1.

If their is still any doubt, sorry. You are brain dead.

Don't try to use logic and facts with some of this crowd.And remember,races in Feb. don't count.Or maybe it's races in Florida,I'm not sure which.

This should be common sense to anyone with half a brain. But. of course, that excludes a few knuckleheads on this site.

Says the guy who had to point out the Captain Obvious.

It's an opinion based site and people are giving their opinions on the rankings by DoD.

Josh sure wore Scott out in Speed weeks. That's my math.
