Whelen Engineering has named Wisconsin native and race track safety leader Scott Finco as the 2024 Whelen Everyday Champion.

Each year, Whelen's Everyday Champion program celebrates and recognizes outstanding emergency service departments, individuals or groups by honoring demonstrations of bravery during an act of exceptional valor or tireless efforts in making a community a better or safer place to live.

Finco has dedicated more than three decades to serving others. His career began in firefighting, including time as a lieutenant with the Menomonee Falls Fire Department in Wisconsin. Over the last 20 years, Finco has brought his expertise to race track safety teams at some of the nation's most iconic motorsports venues, including Daytona International Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway and Road America.

Finco will be honored in February 2025 at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he will receive an award of distinction in the Whelen Hall of Champions. This special exhibit celebrates the stories of individuals who demonstrate heroism, bravery, honor and exceptional community service.
