In its 39th year, the Driver of the Year Award will be determined by an independent vote of an 18-member panel of blue ribbon auto racing journalists and broadcasters and one vote based on a cumulative tally by fans voting at www.speedtv.com. That means that you, the fans, can help us decide the winner of the award by casting your vote right here for the driver you feel most deserves recognition for the 2005 season. The award encompasses all racing platforms including NASCAR, Champ Car, IRL, NHRA, SCCA, World of Outlaws and Sports Cars. The year-end winner is determined by 18 journalists secret ballots and the overall winner of the fan vote on www.speedtv.com. Fan voting for the 2005 Speed Channel Driver of the Year has begun. The winner will be announced exclusively on SPEED Wednesday, February 15th at 8:00pm/et.
