Hunter receives Buddy Shuman Award
Friday, December 01, 2006
NEW YORK - NASCAR Vice President of Corporate Communications Jim Hunter was honored with the Buddy Shuman Award, presented at the National Motorsports Press Association's Myers Brothers luncheon Thursday.
The award is presented annually by NASCAR in recognition of an individual who has made a significant contribution to the growth of Cup Series racing.
Louis Grier "Buddy" Shuman was a pioneer NASCAR Grand National driver and tough competitor who was well respected by his peers. He died in a hotel fire in 1955.
NASCAR established the Buddy Shuman Award in 1957 to recognize outstanding contributions to NASCAR racing.
"I love this sport. I love NASCAR," Hunter said. "I love the people in this sport. And I thank you for this honor."
