Team Australia Champ Car driver Will Power has been awarded the prestigious Sir Jack Brabham Award at the CAMS Australian Motorsport Awards in Melbourne. Power, who is still in the United States preparing for this season's Champ Car World Series, sent messages of thanks to the dinner, stating: "It is such an honour to receive this award with Sir Jack Brabham's name on it. The Board of the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) selected Will Power to be the recipient of the Award in recognition of his year in the Champ Car World Series with Team Australia, in which he won two races and took five pole positions and finished fourth in the championship. His first win in Las Vegas was the first by an Australian driver in the series.
