[edit] Rookie of the Year

The 1999 Rookie of the Year battle was expected to be one of the most competitive in years. However, Tony Stewart ran away with three wins and a fourth place finish in points. Elliott Sadler, who was considered the top favorite for the award during the pre-season, only had one top-ten finish and was the only rookie besides Stewart to complete the full schedule. Buckshot Jones was another favorite, but a long string of DNQ's and DNF's forced him to cut back his schedule and abandon his run for the award. Stanton Barrett began the year with his own team, then left for Junie Donlavey, only making two races. Dan Pardus hoped to run a part-time schedule with Midwest Transit Racing, but he did not qualify for any of his attempts, and was released after the Coca-Cola 600. Finally, Mike Harmon was scheduled to drive the #90, but did not even attempt a race after a sponsorship fallout with Big Daddy's BBQ Sauce.
