Wildberger has served as the SCCA Pro Racing president and CEO since December of 2006.

"My tenure as president and CEO of SCCA Pro Racing has been an opportunity of a lifetime," Wildberger said. "I thank the Board of Directors for their vote of confidence allowing me to lead the revitalization and growth of Pro.

"All of us at SCCA Pro Racing are sad to see Bob leave and we wish him every success in his next endeavor," Mike Lewis, SCCA Pro Racing Board of Directors Treasurer, said. "He has done a wonderful job in very tough circumstances over the past few years. The dedication and energy he brought to the position were invaluable, but I believe his passion for the sport was his biggest asset."
