A great event crowned by a worthy champion!
Michael Hennekam of producer member company Rinker Materials Corp.,
Cocoa, FL, won the first National Mixer Driver Championship. Held
October 15-16, 2006 in conjunction with NRMCA's Fall Conference in
Orlando, the competition included 29 drivers from across the U.S. The
winner was selected based on a point system comprised of three
components: driving a challenge course, conducting a walk-around visual
truck safety inspection and taking a 90-minute written exam.
Congratulations to Michael and all the worthy competitors.
