It's Whincup's third Barry Sheene Medal win after he took it home in his first two title-winning seasons, 2007 and 2008.
The Barry Sheene Medalist is picked by Australia's leading motorsport journalists.
"Every time you win this award it's unbelievably special. Baz was a fantastic character and a motorsport icon," said Whincup.
"This is one of he highest accolades you can win in motorsport and I'm very proud of it.
"There's a lot of people in this game but there's only a certain amount of true racers. The people involved in this award are true racers and that's what me and the team are all about."
