The 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season is in the books and now it is time to hand out some awards. Any race fan loves a big wreck, so our first award will go to the biggest wreck of 2010.
I know many fans will look at the Carl Edwards-Brad Keselowski incident from Atlanta and go with that, but I did not pick that as the biggest wreck.
Biggest Wreck
Winner: Elliott Sadler Pocono Raceway
Sadler crashed so hard that it knocked the engine clear out of the car. NASCAR measured the hit to have been the hardest in history. Thank God he walked away.
Fans also love a good fight, so our next award will go to the best fight of the year.
Best Fight
Winner:Jeff Gordon vs Jeff Burton
How about a good old fight between the two calmest drivers in the sport? I liked it.
Our last award will go to the best race of 2010
Best Race
Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Superspeedway
Most competitive race in NASCAR history with well over 70 lead changes with a spectacular finish between Kevin Harvick and Jamie McMurray. Nearly every driver on the track that day led a lap. Incredible.
