Joe Gibbs

Thanks to Tony Stewart’s NASCAR Cup Series championships in 2005 and 2002, along with Bobby Labonte’s title run in 2000, Joe Gibbs has three NASCAR championship rings to offset the three Super Bowl rings he earned as head coach of the NFL’s Washington Redskins. Gibbs led the Redskins to four Super Bowl appearances and three championships, while garnering Associated Press Coach of the Year honors in back-to-back seasons in 1982 and 1983.

And as Gibbs enters his 16th year as a NASCAR team owner in 2007, he does so while prowling the NFL sidelines in his second coming as the Redskins’ head coach. After an 11-year hiatus, Gibbs returned to the Redskins in January 2004 and just as he did when he started Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) in the spring of 1991, Gibbs performs double-duty as a NASCAR team owner and head coach of the Washington Redskins. Joe, 2008 decided to retire from Coaching after making the playoffs and has returned to guide new racing ventures once more.

Norm Miller

Norm Miller, chairman of Interstate Batteries, began his career with the company shortly after graduating from North Texas State University in 1962. In the past 42 years, he has moved through the ranks of Interstate – from his father’s Tennessee distributorship, to the national field sales team at the company’s corporate headquarters in Dallas, and on to the helm of Interstate’s executive management team.

Miller assumed the president and chairman roles in 1978 after working 16 years under his mentor, company founder John Searcy. Since then, Interstate has grown to become the No. 1 replacement battery in North America. Searcy developed the successful Interstate system of marketing, product, delivery and service, and Miller expanded the team to its current network of more than 300 distributors and 200,000 dealers across the United States and Canada. In 1991, Norm relinquished the presidency to his brother, Tom Miller, to spend more time focusing on other strategies and issues facing the company.

Additionally, Miller led the company in founding the Interstate Batteries Great American Race in 1983, where it has since become the world’s richest vintage car race and American’s premier vintage car event. In 1989, he pioneered Interstate’s entry into NASCAR racing, teaming with the start-up Joe Gibbs Racing organization in 1992. Interstate won the 1993 Daytona 500 and the 2000 series championship.

Gary Becker

Gary Becker began working in the family business – originally called PACE Management Corporation – in 1975. After attending the University of Texas in Austin, Becker returned to the company his father, Allen, formed in 1966. He spent the next 20 years producing concerts before becoming CEO of PACE Motor Sports in 1996. It was at that point when Becker brought supercross motorcycle racing to the mainstream by overseeing the staging of events in stadiums across the United States. PACE was sold to SFX Sports Group in 2000 and then to Clear Channel less than two years later. Becker retired from Clear Channel in 2002. He continues to produce several shows in Las Vegas while developing Arena Racing USA.
