Another Award for Simon Sikes
Jim Fitzgerald Rookie of the Year
The Jim Fitzgerald Rookie of the Year honor is presented to an SCCA Road Racing competitor showing the greatest promise and is based on driving ability demonstrated during a first season of National competition or rookie Runoffs appearance. Winners are selected by the Club Racing Board based on nominations submitted by Executive Stewards. The 2020 Jim Fitzgerald Rookie of the Year is Simon Sikes of Augusta, Georgia.
In his rookie SCCA National Championship appearance, Sikes came out strong and earned a Tire Rack Pole Award in the Formula F (FF) class. The Atlanta Region driver backed up that performance with an FF Runoffs victory in a hard-fought battle with other top-notch drivers. Sikes then managed a runner-up finish in the Formula Continental National Championship race later that same day, further solidifying the fact he is someone to keep an eye on in the future.
