In recognition of his distinguished career at Federated Auto Parts and lifetime support of motorsports at all levels, Federated CEO Rusty Bishop was honored by the Richmond Raceway. Track president Dennis Bickmeier presented Bishop with a commemorative plaque in a special ceremony during the drivers’ meeting held prior to the start of the Federated Auto Parts 400 - NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series race on Saturday, Sept. 21.
Bishop was also selected to serve as the grand marshal of the race and got the event underway with the traditional “drivers, start your engines” instructions. Among those in attendance were his wife Barbara, son J.R., daughter-in-law Allison and grandson Jackson. His longtime friend, Federated spokesman, NASCAR and dirt track legend Kenny Schrader, was also on hand for the event.
