Three Are Honored At JEG'S Northern SPORTSnationals (NHRA/JEG'S)

Three Are Honored At JEG'S Northern  SPORTSnationals
 
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Don Deafenbaugh and Al Bergler have been named as the  Grand 
Marshal and Honorary Starter, respectively for the second annual Jeg’s  NHRA 
Northern SPORTSnationals at National Trail Raceway. 
 
Deafenbaugh has worked as an associate at Jeg’s Automotive,  Inc. for 37 
years. His selection as the event’s Grand Marshal continues a  tradition 
established last year whereby the Delaware, Ohio mail order giant uses  the event to 
honor their longest tenured associates. 
 
Bergler is a veteran racer and fabricator whose many accomplishments  include 
winning the first Ridler Award in 1964. The Ridler Award is considered  the “
Holy Grail�?? of hot rodding. The Ridler Award was named for the late Don  
Ridler, a member of the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame, and the former promoter of  
the Autorama car show. 
 
Another Jeg’s Mail Order Associate, Jeff Corfios, will sing the United  
States national anthem during pre-race ceremonies at the second annual Jeg’s  NHRA 
Northern SPORTSnationals.
