Grand Marshal Wayne Carini
We have been honored to have Wayne Carini, star of MotorTrend’s Chasing Classic Cars, as Grand Marshal of the Klingberg Motorcar Series for nine years. The first five years he shared the honor with his dad, Bob Carini. Now, Bob is remembered at each show with an award given in his name by Wayne.
