NHRA champ Tony Schumacher wins prestigious Driver Of The Year award

NHRA Top Fuel driver Tony Schumacher has been voted the 2008 Driver Of The Year by an elite panel of broadcasters and journalists. Schumacher, who crushed his rivals on the dragstrip, became only the third NHRA driver to win the original Driver Of The Year award in its 42-year history.

In taking a record fifth consecutive Top Fuel world championship, he tied an NHRA record with 15 victories. He also won the third quarter Driver of the Year award.

"What an honor it is to be singled out as the Driver Of The Year for 2008," said Schumacher. "I'm happy that the NHRA is front and center again with this award. It's been a few years since Greg Anderson won it [in 2004]. Of course, John Force also won it in 1996. You can't forget the living legend himself.
