Racing veteran Jay Frye promoted to lead IndyCar Series

After joining the company in 2013 and holding several positions since he began as Chief Financial Officer, Frye will now oversee the entire organization in 2019 as its president.

Frye, who most recently led the competition and operations departments at IndyCar, will now add marketing and communications to his new responsibilities beginning Jan. 1.
