STATEMENT OF CONRAD CLEMENT, CHAIRMAN OF IOWA SPEEDWAY, ON THE PASSING OF CHRIS ECONOMAKI:

 

“Chris was a true friend of the Clement family, and of Iowa Speedway.  I have known him well since Featherlite got into racing over twenty years ago, and I’ve been interviewed by him many times over the past two decades.  He was fair and accurate as a reporter, editor and broadcaster, and he always acted in the best interest of motorsports.  Chris was indeed ‘The Dean of Motorsports Journalists’, and he will be sorely missed by my family and me, as well as everyone involved in our sport.  Our sincere condolences go out to Corinne and Tina and the entire Economaki family on the loss of their father and grandfather.  Chris may be gone from us now, but his legacy will live on through the work of those he influenced and inspired.”
