Unsung Hero Awards: Over the next few days I will be selecting an ‘Unsung Hero’ from each of the North American series covered here: Skip Barber National, Formula BMW-Americas, F2000 Championship, Star Mazda, Atlantic Championship, and the Indy Lights series.
I will post a profile piece on each of the chosen recipients. So make sure to check back.
Standard Disclaimer: Several drivers are worthy recipients of this award. If you’re not selected as an Unsung Hero it doesn’t mean you weren’t deserving. The point of this write-up is to introduce readers to a few drivers that were impressive in 2009, but failed to receive a lot of press. Obviously, there is more than one driver who fits into that category.
Selection Process: In order to keep things in perspective, I’ve chosen to pick a driver who finished around the Top-Five or worse in the final point standings in a series that averaged around 10 entries/race. For series that averaged closer to 20 entries/race or better than 10, I’ve selected a driver who finished around the Top-Ten or worse in the final standings.
As the profile’s are completed, I will link to each below. Enjoy.
