There have been approx. 49 drivers that were named rookie of the year in Nascar. How many of them never won a race in their Nascar career.
I'll guess 18. :D
I counted 16 but may have missed a few and will give it to you. Your go.Quote:

It is your turn to post the next question. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...nk/thum/1u.gif
On previous question:
There have been 15 rookie-of-the-year award winners who have never won atop division race, or 17 if you include Ken Rush and Blackie Pitt who were unofficial rookies of the year before NASCAR started the official award in 1958.
They were:
Kenny Irwin
Mike Skinner
Jimmy Hensley
ROb Moroso
Dick Trickle
ken Bouchard
Ronnie Thomas
Skip Manning
Bruce Hill
Larry Smith
Walter Ballard
Bill Dennis
Doug Cooper
Tom Cox
Woodie Wilson
I'll stay with the same theme, but with a twist.
Juan Pablo Montoya will probably be this year's rookie of the year, but if he had come up in the 60's, he would not have been eligible because of his previous CART championship.
Using that knowledge, Name the driver who won the most races in his "rookie" year.
Tony Stewart with 3 wins.
