Who's Hot returns in April with a new format
Fans and drivers alike have come to love The Z3Sports.com Who's Hot Report. In fact, we've fielded tons of feedback, asking where 'WH' has been.
Well, we are here to answer that. WH has a new format this year. In years past, WH was a poll, among industry insiders, to choose the best drivers from the previous month only. Effective 2011, the popular feature is a running look at the best drivers throughout the entire year.
"Although the monthly factor was what made WH unique over other polls out there, the voters didn't like it and it was confusing to the fans," said Z3Sports.com Publisher Michael Hughes. "When there was a big race in the first half of a month, Who's Hot would run twice before it would reflect that event. It was just difficult and confusing. A lot of the voters never did get the hang of it. I don't understand that, because it's a very simple concept, but it was a bad concept. We love the chance to listen to our patrons and that's what we've done here; from now on, Who's Hot will be a vote of the best drivers for the year at that point in time, given the entire year's results."
Another change sees WH only run during the racing season (March through October). That means the first edition of WH for 2011 will run in April, with the last appearing in November.
