Nick Craw

Nick Craw served as president of ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv for 17 years, more than a decade longer than any other chief executive. He supplied the stability and the vision that led the club through its greatest period of growth. During his tenure, ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv more than doubled its membership, increased total revenues by over 500%, increased outside income six-fold, and doubled member equity. He oversaw the creation of ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv’s most popular class, Spec Racer, the creation of an industry leading insurance plan for race workers and drivers, and a huge growth in the participation in, and exposure for, ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv’s National Championship events. He tried to gauge the sentiments of the membership using member and participant surveys and also using his race car, which he took on a nationwide “Beat the Boss” tour of ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv club races, paid for from his own pocket. He had the foresight to recognize that ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv was too big and too important to be just a club,….. but too strongly tied to its roots to be just a business. Instead, he pushed ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv to become a stronger club, run with sound business practices, for the benefit of its members. Today he serves the motorsports community as the head of the Automobile Competition Club of the United States (ACCUS) representing American racing interests on the international scene.
