TALLMADAGE, Ohio --

Scott Peterson, President and COO of Summit Racing Equipment

Summit Racing Equipment is pleased to announce that Scott Peterson has been named President and Chief Operating Officer of the company effective January 1, 2019.

Peterson succeeds longtime President Ray Tatko, who is retiring at the end of 2018. Tatko will remain on Summit Racing Equipment’s Board of Directors, and act as an advisor to company officers. Tatko’s leadership over the past 30 years has been one of the keys to Summit Racing’s success, especially his talent to identify and hire the best leaders for the growing company.

Peterson was hired in 1995 as Summit Racing’s Operations Manager. He was instrumental in improving the efficiency of the company’s order fulfillment center, leading to quicker shipping times and order accuracy for its customers even as order volume increased.

Peterson was promoted to General Manager in 2008, and guided Summit Racing Equipment through the turbulent period of the Great Recession, helping it emerge stronger than ever. Under Peterson’s leadership, Summit Racing will continue to focus on its customers, the key to another 50 years of growth.

Prior to joining Summit Racing Equipment, Peterson’s professional career included serving as a Marine Corps officer and various management positions with Gander Mountain and FTD. He received his BS and MBA from Northern Illinois University, and enjoys driving his 1968 Camaro Z/28 whenever Ohio’s weather allows.
