And the election results are in

December 15, 2023 It is that time of year again, that time when the results of the election of new member(s) of the ChampCar Board of Directors are announced. It is worth mentioning that we had a record turnout this year, with more members voting than in any previous election. Increased member involvement is greatly appreciated and a sign of a healthy organization. Without further ado, I am pleased to share that the two newest members of the Board of Directors are David Kicak and John Wittenauer. Both David and John will serve on the BOD until December 2026. I would also like to take the opportunity to express my appreciation to Tiffany Alexander and Chris Huggins for their efforts over the past many years. They have both put in countless hours ensuring that the club is successful and they both deserve a hearty “thank you.” Sincerely, Justin Andress Board Chair ChumpCar International, Inc. ____________________________ Candidate - Total Votes David Kicak - 27
