It's time again for us to ask for your help in recognizing the outstanding auto racing performers of 2009.
You know the dominant names of the season – Jenson Button, Dario Franchitti and Jimmie Johnson are all obvious candidates for the overall "Racer of the Year" honor as well as the separate categories for their various disciplines, but there are many more for whom a case can be made in each category. Here's your chance to put your support behind whomever best exemplified the definition of “racers” for you in 2009.
To cast your votes,
log into the Official Ballot, type in your selections and be sure to click the "Done" button at the bottom. (Sorry, but mail-in votes will not be counted.) The winners will be revealed in the March issue of
RACER magazine.
Please note that these awards are for professional racecar drivers only – motorcycle riders, club racers and karting drivers are not eligible in these categories. And, yes, we will be keeping track of IP addresses, so no prizes for trying to stuff the ballot box – but feel free to convince others to vote your way via direct appeals using the comments feature on this page!
