CATEGORIES
1. Driver of Year
Winner: Takuma Sato
Yeah I know, this one might be a Head Scratcher
for Y’all? And I Luv’ed For The Love of Indy’s Raymond Hando’s Quip about “Mailing
It In!” Although that was for the previous Holiday…
But this is my blog After All and “I’m the
Decider!” And Yes, I’m making the choice off of one lousy ‘lil Oval race. Especially
since it was at the first ever Empty Mother Speedway. But I just loved the fact
that even though Scotty Ye iceman 2.0’ Dixon was the Odds On Favourite and led
two-thirds or more of the race, Takuma Sato Never Gave Up and won his second
Borg Warner trophy after starting from third, which I think is his career best Indy
500 start?
Other
Choices
The Usual Suspects, i.e.; Scott Dixon, Lewis Hamilton,
Josef Newgarden, Max Verstappen Blah Blah Blah…
2. Story of Year
Winner: Bahrain Grand Prix “Great Balls ‘O Fire!”
Don’t even think I need try explaining this El
Correctomundo! As we All know about that most Horrifying Shunt Romain Grosjean
endured in Bahrain! When his Haas F1 car Speared the Armco Barrier, Split it in
Two, Caught On Fire in an Mega’ Crash and then being Trapped in the ensuing
fireball for nearly 30 Freakin’ seconds! For which All I can say is Thankfully
Romain Dug into his Inner reserves, Extricated Himself and miraculously Walked
Away!
Other
Choices
Although in a totally different vain, as Sinead O’Connor
sings fabulously on her Biggest Hit
Song, Nothing Compares to You, Romain!
3. Race of Year
Winner: Petit Le Mans
Another typical IMSA Donnybrook event. As there
were multiple collisions and mechanical maladies with the different Class
leaders. Like Dane Cameron aboard the #6 Team Penske/Acura colliding with the
#77 Mazda of Oliver Jarvis, Not Clark who John Hindhaugh always calls him. Or
the Masterclass passes put on at the daunting Downhill 135-140mph corner, which
Alexander Rossi did aboard the Penske Acura DPi!
Whilst it’s always somewhat amazing how an IMSA
10 hour race can go down to the last 10mins and the two leading Daytona
Prototypes collide, with Ricky Taylor trying to overtake Pico Deranti, causing
them to both spin off track with Deranti’s #31 Whelen Engineering Cadillac getting
the worst of it!
As Renger Van der Zande following the duo in
the Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac Zoom-Zoomed thru the carnage, barely avoiding Ricky Taylor’s Team Penske Acura’s Bowling Ball
to win the race which finished under a Full course Yellow Flag; Uhm, Just Sayin’
IndyCar!
Other
Choices
Sure Thars Ah-Plenty’, including the Usual
suspects, i.e.; Indy 500, etc. But I cannot remember anymore…
4. Sportsperson of Year
Winner: Gracie Trotter
Typically I’d say that Erica Enders-Stevens, a
Four-times NHRA Pro Stock Champion who Doesn’t get even close to the Attenzione
She rightly Deserves! Could be my yearly “Penciled-in” choice. Yet this year I
went with a totally unknown Femme Fatale Driver I’d never heard of before her
interview on Speed Freaks. As the 19 year old Teenager Gracie Trotter in only
her eighth ARCA Stock Car start made History by becoming the first Female
winner in ARCA and Stock Car History!

Choices
Erica Enders-Stevens, Britany force and All the Other
NHRA le Femmes…
5. Flatliner' of year
Winner: Ron Caps
As my original scribbled note says it All: Gator
Nationals "Spin 'N Win", which I believe
Ronald C. Capps, now a Two-times NHRA Funny Car champion said it was a real ‘Ol
School Pedal-fest! For which once again, if the link below works? I’ll let The
Freaks do the Heavy lifting instead…
