We at IHRA are thrilled to announce a significant leadership transition aimed at fostering growth and innovation within our sport. Alex Roach has been appointed as our new CEO, alongside Rich Schaefer, who will serve as our new President.

This dynamic duo is committed to expanding the drag racing community, with a special focus on engaging the younger generation.

Under the stewardship of Cuttel Motorsports, the ownership group of IHRA, we are proud to have board members from diverse sectors including AI, Automotive, Private Equity, and Logistics Industries, ensuring a robust and forward-thinking approach to our beloved sport's future.

The last and final update next week will conclude the weekly updates as it relates to IHRA's transition. The final organizational structure, sponsorship information and racing structure should be in place. As with anything, this is ever evolving but EXCITING TIMES AHEAD!
