5) RACE TRACK OF THE YEAR (IHRA or NHRA): Englishtown, still run by the Napp family, still open after what seems like a never-ending battle with the neighbors. The only track with a quicker run in top fuel this year was Phoenix.

Here are my selections, Vegas would be the obvious choice for track of the year, so I decided to go with a potential sleeper. For some reason my picks ended up in the quoted box, not sure why though.
 
1) PERSON OF THE YEAR: Wally Parks
2) NEWS STORY OF THE YEAR: Eric Medlen
3) SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD: Mike Ashley
4) SPONSOR OF THE YEAR: Castrol (for being 100% behind all of john force's difficult decisions this year)
5) RACE TRACK OF THE YEAR (IHRA or NHRA): Joliet
 
1) PERSON OF THE YEAR: John Medlen
2) NEWS STORY OF THE YEAR: Eric Medlen/Wally Parks Deaths
3) SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD: Mike Ashley
4) SPONSOR OF THE YEAR: Torco/Knoll Gas
5) RACE TRACK OF THE YEAR: Norwalk
 
1) PERSON OF THE YEAR: John Medlen

3) SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD: Mike Ashley
4) SPONSOR OF THE YEAR: Torco/Knoll Gas
5) RACE TRACK OF THE YEAR: Norwalk

I'm saving typing time and going with Arthur's votes, although I might have to nominate Mike Iacono for Sportsman of the year-he took Lee Zane's stocker to Atlanta when the D1 Stock championship was still in question and Lee could have widened his lead on Mike-that struck me as extremely generous.

not sure what category.......Tony Pedregon
-first a world champion in one of the most sought after seats in
FC driving for JFR
- risking it all starting his own team, also securing financial partner
with quaker state
- again winning the title, this time on his own dime

quite an accomplishment i'd say.
and dickie venables should also get some kudos.
