All-HammerDown! 2003

Here is how the selections were made. Every 5 days or so after October 31, 2003, a new poll asked readers to pick one driver, from a group, that most fit the HammerDown! style of driving during the season.

Criteria: HammerDown! drivers in our eyes, are first and foremost, winners. They also exhibit professionalism, and composure while having an ability to ignite a crowd with their daring moves on the speedways across the USA.

The format to compile the list of 40 drivers.

The top three vote getters in each "heat" will make the list. There will be 8 heats. (3 transfers X eight heats = 24 listmakers)

The 4th through 6th place finishers will go into a huge last chance poll where the top six will make the list to bring the total to 30 drivers.

The final ten will come from ten distinct "winner take all regional feature" polls.
