MIAMI – Larry Pacey, CEO of National Performance Warehouse, and Chase Knight, former racer and Crane Cams drivetrain expert, were recognized for their racing achievements and support of Miami Hollywood Speedway Park, along with several others. The awards were presented by Jerry Gwynn, father of Top Fuel champion, Darrell Gwynn. Gwynn also is an NHRA World Champion.
