At the end of each season we find many different opinion awards, driver polls and final rankings. Some web sites give the NASCAR fan base the opportunity to vote on events from the season to give us the best or worst moments. Driver Tony Stewart has given us the “Stewie Awards” and for years I’ve done the “SOZie Awards” as a way to throw out my top moments of the season.

On the December 6th Thunder Crew radio show on RaceTalkRadio.com, I introduced the first annual Top 10, Most and Least Influential NASCAR Personalities lists. It’s an interesting list of drivers, owners, promoters and even media members.

As we spotlight those who did great things during the season, we also throw the flashlight on the faces of those individuals who wasted our time, had a poor season or who disrespected the sport we all love.

Without further ado, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!
