Big Brass Mug - The Trophy for the Duds

[Rollo75]

I hate the race for the chase, I think it's a disgrace... waving that muck all over the place.

However, it has meant that there is a winner of the best of the rest.

2021 Austin Dillon
2020 Erik Jones
2019 Daniel Suárez
2018 Ryan Newman (2x)
2017 Joey Logano*
2016 Kasey Kahne
2015 Aric Almirola
2014 Kyle Larson
2013 Brad Keselowski*
2012 Kyle Busch* (2x)
2011 Clint Bowyer
2010 Mark Martin
2009 Kyle Busch*
2008 David Ragan
2007 Ryan Newman
2006 Tony Stewart*
2005 Jeff Gordon*
2004 Jamie McMurray

I find it interesting that in addition to being 2x Cup, 1x Cup2, Kyle Busch is also 2x Big Brass Mug winner.

The race for the chase/playoffs system is monumentally stupid. I hate it with an abject passion.
This motley crew of duds, just missed out.

These drivers are the equivalent of the Richmond Tigers in the AFL...

We finished 9th again,
The Richmond Tigers finished 9th again.
In any season you will see it is our fate,
To miss out on the 8.
We win a few then lose a lot and then it is too late.

A wooden spoon makes no sense in NASCAR. This does.

2022 - Martin Truex Jr.

With a season best of 4th, he is the winner of this year's Big Brass Mug.

This is his first time to win best of the rest.

Big Brass Mug contenders - 2023
Ty Gibbs (+3 ), Michael McDowell (-3 ), Daniel Suarez (-5)

I have a feeling that Ty Gibbs will win his first Big Brass Mug this year.
