Dick Jordan began his career with USAC in December of 1968 and, since that day, has devoted his entire working life to publicizing the club’s drivers and events, working with the media throughout the country and the world, as well as preserving the club’s history with his thorough race reports, statistics and record-keeping.

No individual has witnessed more USAC events than Jordan from his time as a child attending AAA and USAC racing events with his parents in the 1950s all the way until his death in 2019.

A friend to all, the recognition from around the racing world because of Jordan's contributions have been extensive.  The lifelong native of central Indiana is an inductee into both the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame, and also was the recipient of the Jim Chapman Award for excellence in motorsports public relations, just to name a few.

One of the most respected individuals in all racing media, Jordan was also honored for his contributions to the series at USAC’s Night of Champions in 2018 with the announcement of an award named after him.  Among the criteria of the award is to be one who has dedicated his or her life to the betterment of USAC racing.

Jordan, USAC’s tireless public/media relations man for over half a century, passed away on August 9, 2019.  He was 74 years old.
