Ward’s Automotive Group wins multiple 2010 Azbee Awards, given by the American Society of Business Publication Editors, including two golds on the national stage.

Ward’s Automotive Reports takes first prize nationwide in the newsletter-general excellence category, while Ward’s Dealer Business Editor Steve Finlay wins for best regular column – the third consecutive year he has claimed the category’s top spot.

Finlay won for a pair of editorials: “Limbo Land of Auto Finance” and “Axed Aces Wonder Why.”
