Bowling Green resident Spivey Williams has been named as part of the 2017 class of the Kentucky Motorsports Hall of Fame.

The 10th class will be enshrined during a ceremony in November at the Speedzeum inside the Owensboro Science and History Museum.

Three members of one of the ARCA stock car racing series’ most prolific winning families, one of the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ most successful car owners and a drag racing world champion headline the 2017 class.

In addition to Williams, this year’s honorees include the Kimmel family of Portland and Louisville, Clarence Brewer of Central City, Noel Davis of Burnside, Dave Huber of Shively, Calhoun native Bob Kamp and Williams.

Williams is currently best known as a talk show host at Event Radio Live, covering racing and motorsports events across the state. It’s a familiar topic for Williams, who formerly ran Race World, a racing-themed entertainment business, and fielded a series of Funny Cars on the IHRA and NHRA circuits.

This year’s ceremony will present its second Visionary Award to Bob Davis and P.O. Brown of Hardinsburg, who founded the Kentucky Motorsports Hall of Fame to recognize the contributions of Kentuckians in all forms of motorsports.

The Pioneer Award will go to Don Roberts of Owensboro, a noted racer in his era and the founder and builder of Kentucky Motor Speedway.
