SEEKONK, Mass. — All season, Seekonk Speedway competitors chase the championship trophy for their division. But, inside each class, there is also another title chase: the Columbus Energies Rookie of the Year. This title is earned by the Rookie contender who finishes highest in the championship standings at the end of each season. This year, some of the battles came down to the wire again.


With seven second-place finishes to his credit during the season, Vinnie Arrenegado Jr. earned the Pro Stock Rookie of the Year crown in 2024. Arrenegado, who won the Late Model overall championship crown in 2023, moved up into the Pro Stocks with the goal of capturing this Rookie title. He accomplished the goal - scoring the most points of anyone during the course of the season, and finishing second in the final points standings in Seekonk’s top division. 


In the Late Models, it was Andrew Gomes winning the Rookie of the Year for 2024. Gomes moved up to NASCAR Saturday from Fast Friday and the Bandolero division and did it in style. He got his feet wet early in the season, but when the year wound down, Gomes turned it on. In the final six races, Gomes finished on the podium three times to help him seal up the Rookie crown. Gomes bested Brittany Campbell by 90 points to win it.


In the Helger’s Sportsman, Nick Brightman moved from Fast Friday and the Pure Stocks up to the Sportsman and captured the Rookie of the Year. Brightman had his ups and downs, but came up with Rookie honors when it was all set and done. He bested fellow former Pure Stock competitor Sam Lincoln to win it. In the Chaz’s Auto Body Sport Trucks, Jack Brewer bested Steven Buckley to win the Rookie of the Year.
