Connie Nyholm awarded inaugural PMH Trailblazer Award

Parella Motorsports Holdings (PMH) named Connie Nyholm, majority owner and CEO of VIRginia International Raceway (VIR), the inaugural winner of the PMH Trailblazer Award. The presentation took place during a Women in Motorsports North America (WIMNA) Fundraising Dinner at the VIR SpeedTour on Saturday night. The newly-established award recognizes individuals who have made a significant and lasting impact in motorsports.

“We’re very excited to launch this award, and proud to recognize Connie as the first recipient,” said Tony Parella, CEO of PMH. “She’s had such a profound impact in motorsports — creating the concept of a motorsports resort, revitalizing VIR to bring road racing back to southern Virginia, and being another example of a woman in motorsports who is helping to raise the bar. She perfectly embodies what the PMH Trailblazer Award looks to recognize.”

The PMH Trailblazer Award recognizes someone who challenges the status quo and forges their own path to success while opening up opportunities for other people. Nyholm has done exactly that.
