Sullivan also claimed the New Vision Graphics Pole Award for earning three pole positions during the course of the season. In addition, he was presented with the COMP Cams Winner’s Circle Award for winning more drivers than any other competitor with three triumphs.

The always charismatic, Sullivan addressed the crowd.

“This is a great bunch of folks to race with, and I’ve had a lot of fun being a part of the series this year,” said Sullivan. “Hopefully we can win even more races next year and grab another title.”

CCSDS CEO, Chris Ellis addressed the crowd as he recapped an amazing 2015 campaign. He also looked into the future to talk about an even bigger 2016 season.

“We currently have 24 nights of racing scheduled for this season with a couple of additional tracks wanting events,” noted Ellis. “It’s both humbling and exciting to see how many tracks want to support what we doing with this series. I have to thank the sponsors, racers, and fans because without any of you there’s no way we could be growing so nicely.”

Ellis informed attendees that the series is close to obtaining its own transponder system, which would improve event efficiency, while also allowing for flexibility in formats. In an effort to further grow the series, he also mentioned that a greater push for video, photos, and media from events is becoming a primary focus.
