Mopar Tom Hoover Award

Larry Hill · 04-23-2013, 10:58 AM

Mr. Dale Aldo sent me a picture of the Mopar trophy this morning. Since we are big Mopar fans, I think this is really a cool thing. I haven't heard how the points will be calculated. Does anyone know? Is it just like 3 out of 6 Nationals and 5 out of 8 divisionals or something different?

I just received a reply from Mr. Aldo and it looks like they will use NHRA's points to go by as it is currently calculated.

Cool trophy! It's nice to see Mopar still supporting us.

Bunch of great Super Stock racers in the hunt. Kevin Helms, Ken Etter, Darren Smith, Mike Cotten, Tim Hebert, etc but obviously a lot of racing to come. Fantastic way for Mopar to support the sportsman racers.

That's one cool trophy!!!! And special thanks to Mopar and Dale for supporting the "Little Guys" that are the backbone of our sport.....

That trophy would look good next to my Class Nationals trophy from Byron, my Indy win a couple of years ago, and an 8 x 10 color photo of me suitable for framing in my trophy case.

That is really cool! Does anyone know how Mr. Hoover is doing? Last I heard he was having some health issues.

So is Austin now the official winner?

What a great group of racers battling it out for the Mopar crown!

I'd have to say Austin Williams did win and take home the $4,260 prize and awesome trophy!

#1... Austin Williams 539 points
#2... Kevin Helms 537 points
#3... Tom Sheehan 533 points

close race.... congrats to Austin!
THANKS MOPAR!
