(INDYCAR)—IndyCar has a Tiger at the top as we start the sport’s biggest month. Former Missouri football player Jay Frye moved up to President of IndyCar during the winter after serving as President of Competition and operations for three years.
In his previous role, Frye led the efforts to develop the current car design and was involved in gaining new race and series sponsorships, and helping develop new circuits and new teams. We talked to him after the first couple of races this year about the sport’s increasing momentum and the upcoming activities at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
