Indiana Man Is 2025 Auto Dealer of the Year

NEW ORLEANS — Raymond Farabaugh, president of D-Patrick Inc. in Evansville, Ind., was named as the 2025 Time Dealer of the Year at the 108th National Automobile Dealers Association Show. 
 
George Haddad of Haddad Toyota in Pittsfield, Mass., had also been one of the five finalists in addition to Farabaugh, Sean P. Baxter of Kayser Ford Inc. in Madison, Wis.; Con Paulos of Con Paulos Chevrolet in Jerome, Idaho; and Cathy Stender of Woody Anderson Ford, Huntsville, Ala.
 
Sponsor Ally Financial will give $10,000 to the charity of Farabaugh's choice and $5,000 to a nonprofit organization selected by each of the finalists, including Haddad. In recognition of their achievements, Ally also will give $1,000 to a charity selected by each of the 49 nominees.
 
Farabaugh was selected for his achievements in the auto industry and his commitment to making a positive impact in his community. He is a strong supporter of the Automobile Dealers Association of Indiana, where he has served as president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and currently on the board of directors. 
 
Additionally, Farabaugh's auto group has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in direct contributions and sponsorships, supporting an array of organizations such as the Ark Crisis Children's Center, Boone County Cancer Society, Boys & Girls Club of Evansville, Tri-State Food Bank, and many more.
 
Time CEO Jessica Sibley and Doug Timmerman, Ally's president of dealer financial services, announced Farabaugh as the winner at a ceremony in New Orleans that honored all 49 nominees. 
 
The Time Dealer of the Year winner and finalists are chosen by a panel from the Tauber Institute for Global Operations at the University of Michigan. The panel selects finalists from each of the four NADA regions, and, ultimately, a national winner from those finalists.
