And why being named Rookie of the Year means very little in the fullness of a driver’s career.
Neither Ty Gibbs of Joe Gibbs Racing nor Noah Gragson of Legacy Motor Club has been especially impressive through early-season races.After all, only one ROTY winner in the past 10 years has won during his first full season.
Gibbs’s best result has been ninth last weekend near Atlanta, where Gragson finished a season’s-best 12th. Combined, though, seven of their 10 finishes have been in the 20’s and 30’s. Gragson has led the only lap and has no DNF’s; Gibbs’s has one DNF. Each has occasionally run among the top 10, but only Gibbs has managed to finish there.Getty Images
In contrast, Cole Custer, Brad Moffitt, and Daniel Hemric have won the award in recent years. And then there was the three-year run when Kevin Conway, Andy Lally, and Stephen Leicht were named ROTY before almost immediately disappearing from NASCAR. Ron and Ken Bouchard are the only brothers to win the award… then won only one race in 193 combined starts, by Ron at Talladega in 1981. Earl Ross and Juan Pablo Montoya are the only foreign-born winners.
