Home of Champions
The Reading Fairground Racing Historical Society is instituting the "Home Of Champions." A slogan that was bestowed upon the Berks County oval back in the 50s when the top named drivers in the USA visited the speedway on a regular basis. It was decided that the club would honor individuals who helped give the Reading Fairground its place in America's racing history and welcome those deserving persons into "THE HOME OF CHAMPIONS."
For nominations:
Please send the following information to:

Your name, address, phone number
Person being nominated,
a brief explanation of why you feel this person is
deserving of this honor,
and list any accomplishments or events that

The nomination will be reviewed by the Home of Champions committee, voted on by qualified individuals that are versed in Fairground history and announced at the next designated RFRHS event. Then each year following, individuals will be honored accordingly.
