Well to me I think the criteria should be based of consistency through the entire year above all when it comes to my final vote. And I'm glad someone circulated this topic again cause its one of the better stories as things relate to the speedway this year. That being said, gotta agree with you ZERO if I were voting today the Big Dog would get my vote. I say this based on his 5 top 10's, and the fact he narrowly missed his first heat win last week. Still really impressed with the way Larry Woodward is driving this year, and a top 5 a couple weeks ago proved the 50 is more than capable of good results. Larry has missed 1 night as well, so that could hurt him come seasons end. Kyle Baker started very strong and has a top 5 to his credit, to go with some impressive heat performances. I know Kyle is a little down on himself right now, but I hope he gets back at er, cause he is doing fine out there. #84 Sean Cronan has been showing marked improvement, and is coming off his first top 10 a couple weeks ago too so kudos to him. Might I remind you though its only Mid Season and alot can change. If one of these guys gets a feature win it might take them over the top in the voting, or a few top 5 finishes could carry alot of merit in some people's eyes even though you might not even be the top rookie in the point standings!! None the less, all 4 of these rookies have been impressive at certain points of the season!!! Keep up the good work guys!!!!!

Blkflagagain This is so true, there is nothing like wisdom. I wish all of these guys the best. It sure is nice to get back to talking about racing.

The BIG QUESTION IS BOYS , ROOKIES, who will they be ? Not just in the LLM, but in all divisions. I do beleive it is a tight race. I am sticking with the BIG DOG in LLM, my pick from the drop of the green flag at the first of the year, the other division, who knows? Anyone have any ideas? Lets hear them.
