MY CURRENT FAVORITE DRIVERS

BEN RHODES AT AGE 15 (STEARNS PHOTO)

I find myself rooting
for three drivers during the NASCAR season, and they drive in three different divisions.

I wrote features about William Byron, Josh Berry and Ben Rhodes, among others, when I was writing Hickory Motor Speedway stories for the Hickory (NC) Daily Record. And all three have been series champions.

Rhodes won the Truck Series title and Berry was the Xfinity Series champion, both in 2021. Byron is a winning Cup Series driver, and he was the 2017 Xfinity Series champion.

By, the way, Byron's middle name is McComas.

And Berry's Wikipedia page doesn't mention the fact that he was the 2014 Hickory Motor Speedway Late Model champion.
