Brian Redman, a championship-winning sports car and formula car driver, will receive the 11th annual Cameron R. Argetsinger Award from the International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC) later this year.

Scheduled to receive the award on September 4, Redman will be honored for his universal contributions to help advance and improve the sport of motor racing, according to the IMRRC. He will also act as grand marshal at Watkins Glen International (WGI) for the SVRA Mission Foods Watkins Glen Speed Tour event on September 5.

Established in 2014, the CRA Award has been presented to such legends of the sport as Chip Ganassi, Roger Penske, Mario Andretti, Richard Petty, the France Family, Bobby Rahal, Lyn St. James, Mike Helton, Richard Childress and Zak Brown.

Although Redman retired as a pro driver following the 1989 season, he continues to race in vintage/historic events with a variety of historic race cars. He's the owner of Targa 66, a club for owners of high-performance road and race cars, organizing competitive events around the country.

In 2002, Redman was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, and, in 2011, the International Motorsports Hall of Fame. He's a past president of the Road Racing Drivers Club and a life member of the British Racing Drivers Club.

The award memorializes Cameron R. Argetsinger, who, in 1948, conceived, organized and drove in the first post-war road race in America through the roads of Watkins Glen. He brought Formula 1 to WGI 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.
