Will it be Busch or Karam for Rookie of Year at Indy?
NASCAR veteran Kurt Busch was the highest placed rookie in the Indy 500 and one might assume he will be named the rookie of the year. But maybe not. 19-year old Sage Karam is still in high school, think about that for a moment!
Yet he came from the last row on the grid to finish 9th, an improvement of 22 places, many more than Busch improved. Given it was Karam's first big time race of any sort, and given Busch is a veteran of many big races in NASCAR, could it be that Karam will win the Rookie of the Year award? It's going to be a close vote.
