Ryan Truex, based on his 8th place finish on Saturday at Phoenix, was name the Sunoco Rookie of the Race. It is an honor he has accomplished in all six of his starts for Joe Gibbs Racing.
His start at Phoenix gave Ryan the 16 starts needed to qualify for the season-ending award of Sunoco Rookie of the Year. His finish at Phoenix, should of also given him the lead in the rookie points, however, the decision is not based solely on points earned during the races.
Check out my article from NJ.com, Ryan Truex Phoenix Race Could Result in "Rookie of the Year Award", for all the details on what other factors are considered.
While the award would certainly be an honor for Ryan, he certainly wishes it came with a full-time ride in 2012. He has certainly proved he deserves one.
