Speed51.com Short Track Power
Rankings A
51 Exclusive - and Tradition
It
was all about parity in this version of the Speed51.com
Short Track Power rankings. Our panel, which consists
of short track racing experts from across the country,
nominated a total of 62 drivers to make the list. The
votes were all fed into the computer and our top 20
was calculated - with another baker's dozen honorable
mentions put in for good measure. Another
interesting note is that the top two in June's Short
Track Power rankings - Brian Ickler and Ted Christopher
- didn't even get a single vote this time. It appears
that our panel has a short memory.
So without
further ado, here is what our panel came up with
|
1.
Matt Kobyluck
2. Matt Hirschman, Mods - 6.9 Rating
Meanwhile,
another Matt finished in second place.
The good
news for Matt Hirschman is that by winning four
races in a row at four different types of Modified
races, for three different teams, he won the hearts
of our panelists who religiously follow asphalt
Modified racing. He gathered twice as many first
place votes as anyone else. But he was also completely
left off some ballots as well, which dropped him
to the runner-up slot. We might be able to blame
the fact that his success is so spread out as the
reason. After all, he's not leading the points on
the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and only has one
victory there to his credit. So he's easy to gloss
over….but those in the know KNOW what a great
job Little Hirschy is doing.
“It's
hard to beat anyone like Matt for first place on
the track or in this poll, and like you guys at
51 have said, well, there's not much else to say,”
stated one of our experts.
