Sean Bellemeur, who clinched his fourth NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Top Alcohol Funny Car world championship, was voted Top Alcohol Driver of the Year by fans.

Bellemeur and the Killer Bs team — including team owner Tony Bartone and tuner Steve Boggs — won the championship with a perfect points-scoring total of seven national event wins and three regional wins. It was the team’s second perfect season, following their similar accomplishment in 2018.

Bellemeur’s fall Las Vegas win was the 43rd of his career, putting him just one win behind Bob Newberry for third place in all-time class wins behind just Frank Manzo and Pat Austin.

Bellemeur finished just ahead of first-year Top Alcohol Dragster racer Angelle Sampey and Tony Stewart in the fan balloting.
