What driver names could be chosen for the awards? With help from Wikipedia and Champ Car Stats, I list some of the top winners and champions in the USAC and CART eras:
AJ Foyt - four-time winner of the Indy 500, 60 more oval wins (21% of starts), only 3 non-oval wins. But he won the 24 Hours of Daytona, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 12 Hours of Sebring.
Mario Andretti - 24 oval wins (but only 11% of starts), 17 road wins (19% of starts) including three at Road America, 5 street wins including three at Long Beach (plus one with F1). Perfect for a road/street trophy, or even a road trophy.
Michael Andretti - 17 street wins (20% of street starts) out of 42 career wins. He is a street king.
Al Unser Sr and Bobby Unser - 61 oval wins including seven Indy 500 wins, three Pocono 500 and four at Michigan, versus 13 non-oval wins. Perfect for an oval trophy.
Al Unser Jr - 17 street race wins out of 34 career wins, inluding six at Long Beach and four at Vancouver. He is a street king.
Rick Mears - 22 oval wins (19% of starts) including four Indy 500 wins, only 7 road wins and no street wins. Perfect for an oval trophy.
Bobby Rahal - 10 oval wins, 9 road course wins, 5+1 street wins - more like AJ Foyt in a smaller scale.
