#2014TrackPresidents Champion

The official Champions Week of NASCAR is behind us and the real Champions Week is upon us.  In lieu of some over the top awards ceremony in Las Vegas, we'll give these 2014 Track Presidents the back page of an important newspaper.
In my opinion, that trumps all.  And basically my opinion is really all that matters.



#2014TrackPresidents


Up for the running this year we have newcomer Chip Wile who spent his first full year as president of the historic Darlington Raceway.  Most know it as the track "too tough to tame" - just do a search for images using "darlington stripes" and you'll see what everyone is talking about.  And apparently it must be Danica's nickname as well (see bottom right).


DARLINGTON STRIPES


Chip definitely earned his Darlington Stripes as the #2014TrackPresidents Rookie of the Year!  Congratulations on that and Congratulations on The Tradition returning to Darlington Raceway on Labor Day weekend in 2015!!!


Next we have the reigning Champion from the Tricky Triangle who won the inaugural #TrackPresidents Championship in 2013...  ...the one, the only, the great Brandon Igdalsky.  President Igdalsky had a great #2014TrackPresidents year and an even better year at Pocono Raceway as    Dale Jr was back to his winning ways - SWEEPING both summer races in the Pocono Mountains.  June 7, 2015 is the day we see if he makes it three in a row.


The Pocono Sweep...                                                           ...that is all

Hailing from the Irish Hill of Michigan and the FASTEST track in NASCAR, Michigan International Speedway's very own Roger Curtis.  The same place where NASCAR's 2014 Sprint Cup Champion, Kevin Harvick's fastest lap was trumped by Jeff Gordon in August w/ a speed of 205.558 mph.  Maybe that's why Harvick pushed Brad towards Gordon, creating the #2014Melee at Texas Motor Speedway.  I had my first opportunity to visit the track this summer and let's just say that if you like to have fun, get your tail to the Michigan Infield.


WHERE'S DENNIS?


Without further ado, I introduce our
#2014TrackPresidents CHAMPION!!!

CONGRATULATIONS, Dennis Bickmeier !!!


TIS THE SEASON TO BE MERRY


It was a hard fought battle throughout the 2014 NASCAR season and was once again a close one - even closer than the 2014 NASCAR Chase for the Cup.  Four men entered, one man prevailed.  The man who brings us One Last Race to Make the Chase at
every year has won his first Track Presidents Championship.  This is the same man who opened the gates for a post race party ON TRACK this past September.




The 2014 season is almost a month in our rear view mirror and a great time was had by all so now let's get ready to welcome the #2015TrackPresidents season!
Enjoy the holidays and we look forward to seeing you all in 2015.  Less than 10 weeks until cars are on track in Daytona...


Cheers to a great 2014 boys!
