Mike Lewis

The multitalented Lewis who has spent time behind the wheel of a Top Alcohol Dragster and Nostalgia Funny Car in addition to his various management roles, has worn many hats throughout his illustrious career which spans nearly five decades. He is one of the most recognized faces in the industry and has been an integral part of the DSR fabric since 2002. Before joining the winningest team in NHRA history, Lewis owned and operated a consulting company. Previously, he served as Vice President and General Manager of Indianapolis Raceway Park, and Vice President of Field Operations for the NHRA. He is credited for the development of the NHRA’s popular Youth and Education Services (YES) department.

Racing is in Lewis’ DNA. Prior to joining the sport’s sanctioning body, he worked at his family’s motorsports facility, Maple Grove Raceway, where he rose through the ranks learning all aspects of track operation.

“Winning the 2012 NHRA California Hot Rod Reunion in Bakersfield ranks right up there and has always been ‘the moment’ for me but being inducted into the International Drag Racing Hall of Fame really takes the cake,” said the lifelong drag racing enthusiast. “Professionally, being inducted into the International Drag Racing Hall of Fame was definitely the best night of my life.

“It’s such an incredible honor, and I’m so grateful that I was able to share it with Don (Schumacher), Megan (Schumacher), all my friends, family, and everyone at DSR. I’m truly speechless,” added Lewis.

Lewis was inducted into the International Drag Racing Hall of Fame by DSR driver and 2012 NHRA Funny Car champion Jack Beckman.

Dave Argabright

The road back to the beginning is long for Dave Argabright, one of the most prolific and influential motorsports media figures of his generation. His career spans more than 40 years with a collective body of work that includes 18 books, over 1,600 published columns and feature stories, and nearly 500 network television broadcasts. His aggregate writing production is estimated at 4.5 million words.

Dave was born in Anderson, Indiana and at age three his family moved to rural Madison County, near Perkinsville. He graduated from Frankton High School in 1973 and did not attend college. His early jobs included truck driver, factory worker, life insurance agent, and car hop at a local drive-in. While selling insurance, a chance meeting in 1980 with the sports editor of the Anderson Herald led to Argabright being recruited as a part-time stringer, covering local sports. The late-night newsroom experience opened an exciting new door, exposing Argabright to the concept of deadline reporting and the craft of writing. The $15 he was paid for each story also supplemented the wages of a struggling insurance agent. In early 1983 Argabright began writing a weekly newspaper column, Track Talk, which he continued until 1987.
