With the 2005 NASCAR Nextel Cup Awards ceremony held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York this past Friday, the 2005 season is officially closed. Don’t worry, you will not withdrawals long; the 2006 season will begin in mid-February at Daytona.
This past season was a memorable one for several reasons. Driver movement has to rank right at the top. The number of new drivers in new rides isn’t that unusual, it is the quality of drivers on the move and the way that the moves were made that makes the story.
