INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana - of Mobile received the 2013 H.G. Adcox Sportsmanship Award at the ARCA Racing Series postseason banquet on Saturday night.

In his first season on the national touring circuit, Praytor finished ninth in the ARCA standings, driving the No. 2 for Hixson Motorsports of Soddy Daisy, Tenn., and his family's Max Force Racing from the Port City.

The Adcox Sportsmanship Award is presented annually "to honor an individual or group that exhibits the ability to show class in competition and truly defines sportsmanship to fellow competitors, officials and fans in the ARCA Racing Series."

Glad to see receiving the sportsmanship award! This is well deserved!

The award is named for Grant Adcox, a former ARCA driver whose achievements included five victories at Talladega Superspeedway. Adcox was killed in a wreck during the NASCAR Winston Cup Series Atlanta Journal 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway in 1989.

Awesome to see true emotion flowing from after winning HG Adcox Sportsmanship Award. You deserve it bud
