The Associated Press has chosen their athlete of the year, and I must say it’s a long time coming. He has now won 4 championships in a row, which is hard to imagine in any other sport, and has now become one of the best athletes of all kinds. His Sprint Cup win this year wasn’t spectacular. By the time it was officially in his hands, it had been pretty much a fait accompli. He will be racing for 5th in a row next season, which is really impressive for such a young fellow. His number 48 is starting to become one of the most well known in the sport, even though he’s not nearly as flashy as some of the other most popular drivers and doesn’t create nearly as much controversy as the others. This is going to be a fun year though, and he’s finally been recognized for the strength that he brings to the race!
