Each week, the NASCAR® SPRINT® Cup Series driver who clocks the fastest lap (based on speed in miles per hour) earns the Goodyear Gatorback® Fastest Lap award. At year-end, the driver who's racked up the most weekly Fastest Lap awards wins the overall Gatorback Fastest Lap title.
Goodyear Engineered Products awards this driver a custom-designed trophy as well as other great prizes. Past winners have included Dale Earnhardt, Jr (2004), Jeff Gordon (2005), Matt Kenseth (2006), Jimmie Johnson (2007), and Jimmie Johnson (2008).
