[edit] Rookie of the Year

The winner of the 1999 rookie battle was Tony Raines, a former American Speed Association champion. He had three top-ten finishes enroute to a twelfth place finish in points. Hank Parker Jr. was the runner-up in his second bid for the award, while fourth-generation driver and preseason favorite Adam Petty struggled with consistency and finished third. Bobby Hamilton Jr. and Tony Roper spent the season bouncing from ride to ride, and were unable to make a strong threat for the award. Kelly Denton, Philip Morris, Kerry Earnhardt, and Skip Smith all declared for the ROTY award, but could not mount a full-season attempt.
