Bobby Rahal (r) presents Chip Ganassi with the RRDC Phil Hill award for 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chip Ganassi, a former race car driver who is now one of the most successful race team owners, was honored by the Road Racing Drivers Club with the 2017 Phil Hill Award. RRDC president Bobby Rahal made the presentation at the annual RRDC members’ dinner on January 25 prior to the running of the Rolex 24 At Daytona, the season opener of the 2017 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.<\/p>\n

The Phil Hill Award has been presented annually since 1993 to the person who the RRDC feels has rendered outstanding service to road racing. The recipient may be a driver, entrant or outstanding member of a sanctioning body.<\/p>\n

It is named in honor of America\u2019s first Formula 1 World Champion (in 1961), and is not only a tribute to his masterful accomplishments on the race track, it also recognizes his contributions as a great ambassador for the sport. Hill passed away in 2008.<\/p>\n

Chip Ganassi has been a fixture in the auto racing industry for more than 30 years. Today his teams include two cars in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, two cars in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, four cars in the Verizon IndyCar Series, two cars in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and two cars in the FIA World Endurance Championship. In 2012, he was named by Complex Magazine as one of the \u201c50 most influential people in the Auto Industry.”<\/p>\n

Overall, his teams have won 18 championships and over 180 races, highlighted most recently by a historic win in their first trip to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016. As a result, Ganassi is the only owner in history to win the Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500, Brickyard 400, Rolex 24 At Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring and 24 Hours of Le Mans.<\/p>\n

In 2010, Ganassi\u2019s teams turned in a historic season by setting an organization record with 19 wins across the three touring series in which they competed, including victories in the Daytona 500, the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard 400, making him the only team owner in history to win all three crown jewels of racing\u2013 and he accomplished it in a single season. In addition, in early 2011 his IMSA team finished off the \u201cGrand Slam\u201d by also winning the Rolex 24 At Daytona. Ganassi became the first owner to hold all four titles at one time.<\/p>\n

Following a strong career as a driver, Ganassi created his own one-car Indy car team in 1990. Through the years, his open-wheel teams have amassed 11 championships and over 100 wins — including five in the Indianapolis 500. His NASCAR teams have over 20 wins, including one in the Daytona 500, one in the Brickyard 400 and five trips to NASCAR\u2019s Chase rounds. He manages his teams from state-of-the-art race shop facilities in Indianapolis, Ind., and Concord, N.C., with a corporate office in Pittsburgh, Pa.<\/p>\n

The Duquesne University graduate was formerly part owner of his hometown Pittsburgh Pirates and is a strong supporter of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, to which his teams have donated over half a million dollars.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhil Hill represented everything that was great about the American spirit internationally,\u201d said Rahal. \u201cHe was the first U.S. Formula 1 champion and multi-time winner of Le Mans. He was a gentleman in the finest sense of the word.<\/p>\n

“He was very much a class guy, and he let his driving speak for him. He wasn’t a braggart. He just did his thing and he won a lot of races, including Le Mans in the ’50s and ’60s. He drove for Chaparral, and pretty much did it all.<\/p>\n

“We think the Phil Hill Award represents something that’s very special in motorsport. And Chip Ganassi clearly lives up to that example. He is indeed a worthy recipient of the Phil Hill Award.”<\/p>\n

“I want to thank everybody at the RRDC here tonight for giving me this Phil Hill Award,” said Ganassi. “The list of past winners includes a number of my friends and mentors, people like Danny Sullivan, Bill France Jr., Roger Penske, Rick Mears, Hurley Haywood, Scott Pruett and MIke Hull. Oh, wait, Mike Hull didn’t get this award, did he? He certainly deserves it,” said Ganassi, jokingly, about his longtime friend and Chip Ganassi Racing’s Managing Director.<\/p>\n

“Winning an award that has Phil Hill’s name on it is certainly something that you have to be proud of. Anybody who has been around racing for any length of time and understands the history of the sport would certainly have Phil Hill on their list of heroes. Yes, this is truly an honor, I can tell you.<\/p>\n

“As a lot of ou know, I’m filled with a passion for motorsports and, most importantly, for road racing and for the cars themselves. Although I couldn’t be more honored to get this award tonight, I will also congratulate the RRDC for the tireless work of so many people who help maintain the history of road racing. It’s great to be here to kick off the racing season.”<\/p>\n
