Rockingham's Andy Hillenburg |
The award is designed to
recognize character and achievement in the face of adversity, sportsmanship and
contributions to motorsports. Quarterly winners are selected each year, with an
overall winner determined by a vote of the National Motorsports Press
Association membership.
Hillenburg was selected
for his efforts to return Rockingham Speedway to prominence. He bought the
track at auction in October 2007 and in April of this year hosted NASCAR’s return
to the legendary North Carolina track for the first time since 2004.
Also receiving votes
were: Jimmie Johnson, Ricky Benton Racing, Ellen Siska and Tony Stewart.
