IMCA to name national Sport Compact rookie of the year VINTON, Iowa (Jan. 24) – IMCA will name a national rookie of the year in the Sport Compact class beginning this season. Introduced in 2006, the division crowned its first national champion last year. Rookie of the year candidates must have four or fewer sanctioned starts in their career and will be required to fill out and mail or email an application form to the IMCA home office by Aug. 1. Rookie standings will be based on driver’s 30 best feature finishes out of their first 55 starts. The top freshman driver of 2008 will receive a plaque and jacket during the IMCA national awards banquet Nov. 28 in Lincoln, Neb. “The growth in the number of sanctions last year, as well as the number of new drivers, was very encouraging,” said IMCA Vice President of Operations Brett Root. “Our Sport Compacts are extremely economical and I expect another solid influx of drivers to the class in 2008.” National rookies of the year will be crowned again in the Modified, Late Model, Sprint Car, Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod, Southern SportMod, Stock Car and Hobby Stock divisions. Regional awards are given for the Modifieds, Stocks and Hobbies. The Deery Brothers Summer Series for Late Models also recognizes a rookie of the year. |
