Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing, will receive the 10th annual International Motor Racing Research Center Cameron R. Argetsinger Award later this year.

Brown will receive the award, recognizing his contributions to help advance and improve motorsports, at a gala ahead of the NASCAR Cup Series Go Bowling at The Glen, September 11-15, at Watkins Glen International. 

Previous recipients include Chip Ganassi, Roger Penske, Mario Andretti, Richard Petty, the France Family, Bobby Rahal, Lyn St. James, Mike Helton and Richard Childress.

The award memorializes Cameron R. Argetsinger, often referred to as the father of American road racing. In 1948, Argetsinger conceived, organized, and drove in the first post-war road race in America through the roads of Watkins Glen. He brought Formula 1 to Watkins Glen International in 1961 and the circuit hosted the United States Grand Prix for 20 years. He was president of the IMRRC for five years, until his death in 2008.
