Carroll Shelby and Phil Hill Received Eagle One-Shav Glick Award

Motor racing legends Carroll Shelby and Phil Hill were both recipients of the seventh annual Eagle One-Shav Glick Award for distinguished contributions to motor sports in California. The award was presented by car care products company Eagle One during pre-race ceremonies at the NASCAR Auto Club 500, at California Speedway on February 26, 2006.

The award which was voted upon by a panel of national and California motorsports writers is in honor of the recently retired, long-time motorsports writer for the Los Angeles Times, Shav Glick.

Shav Glick had this to say about the two racing legends, "Hill and Shelby are both products of that era in the 1950s and 60s that has become known as the glory years of sports car racing, a time when ingenuity and industry were rewarded in the racing fraternity. Both were winners and both carried the California trademark with great success on the world racing scene.”
