WHAT DOES A TROPHY REALLY REPRESENT ?

Blake’s first podium finish in Round 6 of the 2020 Summer Shootout brought him his first Summer Shootout Trophy. Over the last five years of racing, Blake has collected a fair amount of hardware, including more than 30 trophies. They take up three shelves in his bedroom. Many were won in karting events across New England, as well as two regional karting championships in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Other trophies were won in Legends races in the South. More important then the trophy is what each award represents: hard work, determination, focus as well as hours, weeks, months and years logged on the asphalt in all kinds of weather and conditions. But this week’s trophy will always have special significance to him as it is his first at the Shootout and the first Shootout trophy for the NASCAR D4D/ Rev team in 2020.
