Denny Hamlin's victory at Pocono Raceway on Monday made it 12 different race winners in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series this season. There were 12 different race winners all of last season. There are six race winners from last season still awaiting their first victory of 2009: #99-Carl Edwards, #16-Greg Biffle, #33-Clint Bowyer, #31-Jeff Burton, #88-Dale Earnhardt Jr. and #39-Ryan Newman (NASCAR). The record for most different winners in a season is 19 in the 1956, 1958, 1961 and 2001 seasons.
Does that point towards this being a competitive season? 12 seems like a decent number IMO, especially with the races left to run this season. Have we seen all of the winners that we're going to see this season? Do you think one of last years remaining 6 winners will get a victory yet this year? How many different race winners do you think we'll see this season. I'll go with 15.
