Mitch Henderson was selected for Dunlop's best-of-show "Maxxed Out" Award
at the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show, the world's premier
automotive specialty products trade event (Booth 41427, South Hall), in Las
Vegas.
John Davis, Emmy Award-winning host, producer and creator of MotorWeek,
TV's respected and original automotive show, presented the Dunlop awards.
"We were looking for the ultimate in 'maxxed out' style and performance,"
said Andy Traicoff, director of Dunlop consumer tire marketing. "Through
these awards, Dunlop celebrates the artistry and all-out performance created
by the people who personalize their vehicles to reflect their personalities
and attitudes."
The "Maxxed Out" Award is named after the award-winning ultra high-
performance Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tire. "We've won awards globally with the SP
Sport Maxx, so it's only fitting that we name an award after it," Traicoff
said.
Other Dunlop category winners include: Ryan Shutt, of Baltimore, and his
2006 Honda Civic for Best Sport Compact; Ricardo Vega, of Santa Fe Springs,
Calif., and his road race Ford Focus for Best Performance Car; and Ross
Berlanga, of Los Angeles, and his 2005 Chrysler 300C for Top Tire & Wheel
Fitment.
"We expected the Dunlop 'Maxxed Out' Awards to be very competitive, but
the creativity and style exceeded our expectations. The SEMA vehicles
epitomized the Dunlop attitude of passion, control and style, which is part of
our DNA," Traicoff said.
