A ‘WALLY’ FOR LOUIS
Southern California motorsports reporter and sports columnist Louis Brewster was handed the Pro Stock Wally by Greg Anderson during closing ceremonies for the Winternationals.
Brewster, who could be characterized as the "Dean of Los Angeles Motorsports Writers" was also given the World Finals Funny Car Wally by John Force last fall.
In handing the trophy to Brewster, Anderson reportedly said, "Louis always makes me laugh." (Darr Hawthorne photo) [02/12/07]
