Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire LLC has given Bill Pace its Lifetime Achievement Award to commemorate his 40-plus years of service.
Pace manages BFNT's TireStarz program.
He started with the former Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. in 1965 as a management trainee. He took part in the roll-out of TireStarz in 1998.
At the time, the program had 30 dealers; today it encompasses nearly 1,200 dealers throughout the United States and Canada.
