Let’s face it: The Dream Team wants to recognize people who may be overlooked, but when someone barges through the door, stands in front of you and forces his way into your line of sight, there’s not much you can do but recognize the effort and reward that someone with Driver Of The Week honors. This week in the 360 Sprint Car portion of the FVP Western Spring Shootout at Stockton Dirt, Andy Forsberg not only won night one after falling from the front row to fourth and then making his way back to the point, but backed it up and took the bonus money for anyone who could win both nights by winning night two in flag to flag fashion while fighting off everyone’s pre-weekend pick to win, Rico Abreu. Forsberg runs his streak in 2016 to 3 in a row and has won 4 in a row dating back to 2015 and earns the second Dream Team Driver Of The Week Award.
Honorable mentions go to Andy Gregg, who came off an open trailer with one left rear for the weekend and was competitive both nights and Shane Golobic, who won the Shamrock Classic in DuQuoin and whose biggest fault was he drove a car that wasn’t a sprint car.
