The Nebraska Club Race Driver of the Year replaces the previously awarded George Gunther Memorial trophy due to changes made to club racing at a national level.
It was decided to keep the Gunther Memorial trophy as the Club Race Driver Trophy (no new trophy was started) due to the history of winners engraved upon the trophy.
