Every year, the [Texas Auto Writers Association](https://www.texasautowriters.org/) accepts entries from automotive press members in a number of categories as part of its Excellence In Craft Competition, one of which is the radio category.

**For 2021, the Car Pro Show won first place for Radio.  We are proud and humbled to win this award.**

We have won first place a couple of times in previous years, took second and third a few times, but I am especially proud of this win because it involved my late Son, B.J.

For the contest, I entered a call we got on the [WBAP DFW ](https://www.wbap.com/car-pro-show/)show that I called *Sweet Carol.  *Carol was a nurse and lives in Canton, TX, about 75 miles east of the Metroplex.  She bought a vehicle from my Son before he passed, and it was time to trade.  Her description of how my Son, B.J.  treated her was beyond touching.

In a [press release, ](https://www.texasautowriters.org/news/12162938)the TAWA EICC judges said:

 

> **Winning 1****st** **place** is Jerry Reynolds, Sr, of *CarProUSA.* Jerry hosted a story called “[Sweet Carol](https://soundcloud.com/jerry-reynolds-333557086/carol-re-bj)” about a WBAP caller named Carol, a nurse who needed help and had purchased a car from Jerry’s late son. Our judges said, “Original story, very human, personal and well taken care of. Informative and useful.”  

 

I set Carol up with Trey Russell, the GM at Five Star Ford in Carrollton, TX to get her new Edge and everything worked out beautifully. 

I thank Carol for the call, and the trust.  I thank the Judges at the Texas Auto Writers for choosing our entry, and I thank our listeners for using our Certified Dealers, even when they have to drive an hour and a half.
