SHAV GLICK - EAGLE ONE AWARD(S) 2006

Phil Hill And Carroll Shelby Selected Co-Recipients 
Of The Eagle One-Shav Glick Award 


Los Angeles, CA, January 3, 2006 -- Motor racing icons 
Phil Hill and Carroll Shelby have been selected co-recipients 
of the seventh annual Eagle One-Shav Glick Award, based 
on voting by a panel of national and California motorsports 
writers. 
Presented by car-care products company Eagle One in honor 
of the long-time motorsports writer for the Los Angeles Times, 
the award will be presented to Hill and Shelby during pre-race 
ceremonies at the NASCAR Auto Club 500, February 26, at 
California Speedway. 
Hill, in 1961, became the first American to win a Formula One 
world championship. He also won the 24 Hours of LeMans three 
times, the 12 Hours of Sebring three times and numerous other 
national and international racing events. 
Shelby, who was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 
1992, has gained fame as a driver, designer/builder and team manager. 
In 1959 he won the24 Hours of LeMans and also set land speed 
records at the Bonneville Salt Flats. After health problems caused 
his retirement as a driver in 1960, the Cobra sports car he designed 
and built became the first American-conceived car to win the World 
Manufacturers Grand Touring Championship in 1965. As a team 
manager he helped Ford GT win the World Grand Touring title. 
Said Glick of both icons, "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." 
Previous winners were Dan Gurney, Wally Parks, Parnelli Jones, 
Rick Mears, Les Richter and J.C. Agajanian.
