Dwight Drum announced the winners of the fourth annual Zoomster Awards today in Tampa, Fla. Only 13 stock car and drag racing champions and high-achievers will receive the 2002 award which features a special production Zoomster hat.

"In motorsports a Zoomster is defined as a smart and speedy racer, a professional contributor, or high-achiever." Drum said. "We designed the unique Zoomster hat to recognize champions and high-achievers and to say thanks to those who give purpose to our racing sites: Zoomster.com, StripBike.com and RaceBizz.com

"While we realize a Zoomster Award is no grand prize," Drum added." We are trying to create a collector's item as we recognize champions and high-achievers. Although I'm editor at Zoomster.com, I do not wear a Zoomster hat...I wear a Zoomster.com hat. No one at Zoomster.com wears a Zoomster hat."
