Brownsburg, Indiana (December 29, 2018)………Dick Jordan, who recently celebrated his 50th year as an employee of the United States Auto Club, was honored with his induction into the Circle of Corydon recently in Brownsburg, Ind.
The Circle of Corydon is a new award developed by Governor Eric Holcomb to honor outstanding Hoosiers who have contributed greatly to the state of Indiana.
Jordan’s tireless work in the USAC News Bureau for five decades has also netted him honors as an inductee of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and the National Midget Hall of Fame among others.
One of the most respected people in all racing media, Jordan was also honored for his contributions to the series at USAC’s Night of Champions with the announcement of an award named after him.* Recipients of the award will have to meet the criteria of one who has dedicated his or her life to the betterment of USAC racing.
I believe Dick should be inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame also. When I worked for MSCS, I didn"t have to work the USAC midget race (Hut 100) at Haubstadt ,but was up in the tower watching , and Dick came in and sat next to me., I had heard of Dick before so it was a big thrill to me. For once I kept my mouth shut and just listened, Man I had a blast hearing stories and learning things from Dick. He" a really nice guy who didn"t know me from Adam, but talked to me like we"d known each other fpr years.
Dick I don"t know if you look at this site , but if you do THANKS for one of the best nights of racing in my life
