Thanks to history-making performances and an abundance of audacious racing, motor racing provided the entire sports world with some of the most compelling stories of the year.

Perhaps we should have seen it coming. The surreal pothole misadventure in the season-opening Daytona 500 may have been a sign this would be a year like no other.

Whether a highlight reel of great efforts or one of great feuds grabbed your attention, FanHouse wants you, the fans, to pick the motorsports story of the year, and I have spotlighted a few of the plenty to chose from.

Jimmie Johnson's unprecedented fifth consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup Series title is Hall of Fame worthy and will likely never be equaled, nor will 60-year-old drag racing icon John Force's amazing 15th championship run in NHRA Funny Car drag racing, coming as it did three years after a death-defying crash.

Chip Ganassi became the first team owner in history to win the Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500 in the same year and threw in victories in NASCAR's Brickyard 400 Indianapolis race, the IZOD IndyCar Series championship and the Grand-Am sports car title for good measure. NASCAR's favorite bad boy Kyle Busch good-naturedly endured the boos and jeers en route to victory circle after victory circle, racking up a record 24 wins in three national divisions.

Team Penske driver Will Power returned from a broken back in 2009 with a series-best five wins and eight poles in the IZOD IndyCar Series, only to have rival Dario Franchitti dramatically grab the championship in the final race -- the second straight year Franchitti trailed entering the last race and took the trophy home.
