Rovn, originally from Minnesota, has served as Communications Manager at the historic race track since June of 1998. "I've really enjoyed the last couple of years at The Glen and am tremendously excited to take on the challenges of a new position, " said Rovn. "Watkins Glen has been blessed with a great group of loyal sponsors and partners and I certainly look forward to continuing to develop an already outstanding piece of our business." Gauthier originally hails from Virginia Beach and took over Advertising and Promotions at Watkins Glen in January of 1999. "My experience at Watkins Glen has been fantastic and I'm very excited to begin handling new challenges," said Gauthier. "I look forward to continue the development of valuable relationships and working to provide first-class motorsports entertainment for our fans and corporate partners."
