NASCAR ROTY RANKINGS 2013: Ranking the Rookie of the Year Classes Through the Years



Join me as we take a look at every NASCAR Cup Rookie of the Year class from 1972 (the start of the modern era) through 2021, going from the worst to the first in terms of overall careers of each year’s rookie class.

2013

Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s rookie car

Winner: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (Roush-Fenway).  Runners Up: Runners Up: Danica Patrick (Stewart-Haas), Timmy Hill (FAS Lane).  Aborted Attempts: none

How their careers turned out: Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s career is a tough one to judge—he’s won, but not much, and mostly on plate tracks.  But he DOES have a Daytona 500 win to his name and has raced mid-pack equipment for the bulk of his career.  Then again, the 17 car got a LOT better once he left.  Oh well—at least he isn’t doing car warrantee ads or is forced to go home to Port Tobacco.

“Fun” “Fact” about the winner: If Ricky ate every food product on his car, he’d weight about 400 lbs.

Ranking: #30 out of 50
