John Willman wins multiple awards at Grandview Speedway Banquet
NASCAR sportsman modified race car driver, John Willman, went to the Grandview speedway banquet on December 5, 2009, knowing he was going to win an award for finishing in fourteenth position in the modified points chase. However he was surprised to win not one but two additional awards.
Willman, from Birdsboro, Pa, was recognized at the Grandview Groove Most Popular driver in the Modified Division as voted on by the fans of the Berks County clay Oval. “To win this award with guys like Strunk, VonDohren and others racing there weekly is really an honor,” said Willman, “I appreciate that many fans like my style of racing and they must think I’m pretty good.” Willman did well enough at the regular Saturday night speedway to finish fourteenth in overall points. The speedway usually gets between 45 and 50 cars every night.
The second award Willman received was the Sportsmanship Award. “I’m equally as moved to be given this recognition because this award is voted on by the track officials. I race hard every night out and I always strive to do the best that I possibly can. I learned a lot from people around me and I race with the professionalism and respect that I know the sport deserves.” There is usually a line of car owners and drivers at Willman’s small open trailer from the time he gets to the track till the end of the evening looking for information or advice on chassis setups and shocks. During the night if someone needs parts to keep racing, that the parts truck is out of, racers come to see John
because if he doesn’t have it he will know someone in the pits who does. Willman also sells parts, oil, fuel and repairs parts to help other people keep racing.
“I’m really excited about the 2010 season already,” said Willman with a smile, “ I had a good meeting with a potential major sponsor and I’m hoping to work out a marketing plan with them in the next two weeks.”
“I have my 2009 Bicknell car that I ran last season and I’m getting a new frame in a few weeks. I’ll have two cars ready for action at Big Diamond and Grandview next year. My Lombardo motors are ready to go and I’m looking forward to next season.”
Willman will be entering 2010 with the best equipment he has ever had. With the sponsorship coming together the “Ultimate Underdog” is poised to move up in the point standings and is working hard toward next year.
