FONTANA, Calif. — While their father was busy Sunday racing in Arizona, Brittany and Courtney Force and Adria Hight accepted the Justice Brothers-Shav Glick Award on his behalf. 
The annual award, presented in conjunction with the Auto Club 500 at California Speedway, recognizes those who have made distinguished contributions to motor sports in the state of California.
From Firebird Raceway, where he was eliminated in the first round of Sunday’s 24th annual Checker-Schuck’s-Kragen Nationals, the second race in the 2008 NHRA POWERade Series, Force acknowledged both Glick, the dean of American motor sports writers who last year succumbed to complications of melanoma, and the other nominees for the award.
“Being nominated for an award with Shav’s name on it is an honor by itself,” Force said, “but to be with people like Robert (E.) Petersen, Chris Pook and Jimmie Johnson, the NASCAR champ, makes it even more special. I wish I could have been there myself but I’m just glad my girls were able to accept it for me.  It’ll go right in my museum.”
Glick was a long time motorsports writer for the Los Angeles Times and member of the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America.
