The Canadian was first listed for the second-annual Greg Moore Legacy Award, before receiving both the Gilles Villeneuve Award and the WorldCom Fast Pace Award at the Atlantic season-end banquet in Monterey.
The Villeneuve award was instituted in 1989 by former Atlantic champion Steve Shelton and presented this year by Jim Murphy, writer and forum host of Championship Racing magazine. It is given each year to the driver who "... possesses extraordinary ability and has that special star quality and who has distinguished himself through sportsmanship, dedication and perseverance...

The Worldcom Fast Pace Award was presented to Rutledge by WorldCom sports marketing senior manager Angela Ferragamo in recognition of being the driver with the highest number of WorldCom Fast Pace Awards for the fastest race laps at each race during the season.
