W.O.W. Award Recognizes Consistent, Demonstrated Excellence

September 2, 2016 (JOHNSON CITY, Tenn.) — The AAM Group™, the largest program distribution group in the SEMA marketplace, has named Marketing and Merchandising Specialist Donnie Hurt as the organization’s 2016 Employee of the Year and recipient of the W.O.W. Award. Hurt, who transitioned to AAM’s marketing team last year from PerformanceParts.com, has quickly become an integral part of AAM’s expanded suite of services, notably as email marketing lead and architect of the AAM Sign Shop™, which provides deeply discounted signage and display elements to program retailers and installers.

Given annually to the AAM Group™ employee who best exemplifies the qualities of commitment, creativity, initiative, and resourcefulness, the W.O.W. Award is named after Wilbur and Orville Wright, who embodied many of those same traits in their dogged pursuit to realize the world’s first successful controlled airplane flight.

“We are very pleased to have given this well-deserved honor to Donnie,” said AAM President Tim Odom. “He has embraced every responsibility he’s been given and not just done them well, but also meaningfully contributed to making the resources and services in which he is involved better. He well represents AAM’s team spirit, drive for excellence, and commitment to meeting the needs of our stakeholders. In the past year Donnie’s contributions have made AAM a better organization.”

Kingsport Speedway Event Saw Ronnie McCarty Capture His Fourth Win of the Season

AAM Group™ President Tim Odom had the honor of dropping the green flag on the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series late model stock car event held Friday, August 12 in Kingsport, Tennessee. The race additionally honored the late Gene Glover, winner of the 1979 NASCAR Late Model Sportsman national championship and the all-time title holder at the Kingsport Speedway.

Odom, who waived the flag for NASCAR official and AAM Program Sales Manager Jerry Simpson, got the 18-car field going on Back to School night, which saw children receive NASCAR Acceleration Nation school supplies. Defending champion Ronnie McCarty outmaneuvered a game field in his #5 car to pick up his fourth win of the season, followed in the final standings by Zeke Shell, Robbie Ferguson, Wayne Hale, and Justin Fontaine.

“I had a blast dropping the flag,” said Odom. “It’s a great feeling to be that near a pack of high-powered cars getting up to speed. Jerry taught me a great deal about the role of a flag person in a race, and I gained a great appreciation for all that figure does to contribute to fair competition, safety, and a better experience for the fans.”
