UIM F2 World Championship pilot Brent Dillard received recognition for his racing from the Sumter County Council (South Carolina) last Tuesday.

Sumter Council Chairman James T. McCain Jr. explained:

It was now time to recognise a gentleman who travels around the world racing powerboats.

Dillard’s father Steve told council members:

Brent received a proclamation from then Gov. David Beasley for being a national champion at the age of 14 following a race in New York.

Since then Brent has won 9 US national championships, 5 North American championships.

Dillard thanked the council members.

I just want to thank you for being here and to my sponsor, Dillard Financial, for making it possible to race abroad.

McCain concluded:

The council members have just recognised the up and coming basketball star Ja Morant and Dillard has ‘already made it’.

We’re looking forward to more things from you.
