About the event
Join us for the 2025 Russo-Marvel Award Ceremony, presented annually by the Society of Professional Motorsports Journalists, as we honor an individual whose passion, dedication, and contributions to auto racing reflect the legacy of our founders, Bob Russo and Bill Marvel.
Chaired by SPMJ Board President Paul Page and voted on by previous winners, this prestigious award—originally established by AARWBA—continues to recognize those who embody the spirit of motorsports journalism.
As part of the Russo–Marvel Award Ceremony program, Michael Knight will present the Jim Chapman Award—the highest honor in motorsports public relations. This award recognizes professionals who reflect Jim Chapman’s legacy of integrity, innovation, and a deep commitment to building meaningful relationships with the media.
