June 15th this year would be the time when the Boy Scouts of America’s Cascade Pacific Council would be respecting the Ford Motor Company. The company would be given by the discussed council as the Motorsports Company of the Year. Such an event would take place during the council’s 17th yearly Motorsports Breakfast which would be held in Portland, Oregon. In truth, this breakfast is essentially done as a part of the activities and events of the Grand Prix of Portland which is a yearly stop of the Bridgestone Presents The Champion Vehicle World Series Powered by Ford.
It was Ron Bennett who presented and gave the Motorsports Company of the Year award to the Ford Motor Company. Ron Bennett is one of the members of the Motorsports Breakfast Steering Panel . While honoring the company, he declares, “There are numerous likenesses between the Ford Motor Company and the Boy Scouts. The ideal example is the Pinewood Derby. We both exercise imaginations and learn about the problems of building the ideal race auto. From planning the vehicle, placing the weights and even developing paint schemes, the Scouts get ready for their races in the same way our engineers test and develop our race cars.”
This award is an accolade that is recognized well enough by the company. In truth, Jamie Allison, the manager for the Ford Racing Performance Group, had things to say about this. He states, “It is an honor to be recognized by the Cascade Pacific Council, Boy Scouts of America. I am privileged to accept this award on behalf of Dan Davis, Director of Ford Racing. It for us to be recognized by an organization that has such an impact on the young people of the Portland area and across the country.” With the various sorts of awards and accolades that the Corporation has received through the years, this award would be another one that would be part of the corporation’s treasure.
