Elkhart Lake, Wis. – The 2011 BFGoodrich Tires SCCA Club Racing Worker of the Year Awards were presented on Thursday, Sept. 22, at Road America, during the 48th SCCA National Championship Runoffs®.

One BFGoodrich Tires “Worker of the Year” award was given to a member in each of the nine SCCA divisions, regardless of specialty. Each of those nine Divisional winners win a set of BFGoodrich Tires and a patch, plaque and jacket to commemorate the achievement.

BFGoodrich Tires also awarded a grand prize package to Bart Carlevaro, a Grid and Pit worker from Northern New Jersey Region, whose name was selected from all of the Workers of the Year in a random draw at the party.

The grand prize, a trip to the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring at Sebring International Raceway, will include airfare, lodging, tickets, track hospitality, golf cart for use during the weekend and pit and paddock tours, all courtesy of BFGoodrich Tires.
