The "King of the Upside Down Club" has changed hands. 1st recipient Chad Homan was dethroned as Mike Minutolo is now the new "King" of the upside down club. It was voted that after many seasons, Mike duplicated Chad's fortune of getting on his roof twice in one season. Mike accomplished this in consecutive weeks and also gave a rendition that envied the WWF.

The "Fred Taney Memorial Award" was presented to Marilou Stange. Marilou organized, implemented, and organized the "Canandaigua Kids Club." Without Marilou, there would not be a "kids club" at Canandaigua Speedway.
