Amongst a list of leadership structure changes, Penske Entertainment has announced that Doug Boles will be stepping up as IndyCar's newest President.
Boles will come into this role off the back of twelve years as the President of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and will bring a wealth of expertise to IndyCar as its President.
“Racing is in my DNA, and no form of racing resonates more personally and strongly with me than the NTT INDYCAR SERIES," Boles commented.
"I’m honored to lead the amazing team at INDYCAR, and I truly believe the future is bigger and brighter than ever for our sport and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I’m extremely grateful to Mark Miles for this opportunity, and fans can rest assured the hard work is already under way and 2025 will be a fantastic season.”
Penske Entertainment President and CEO Mark Miles added: “Doug is the ideal choice to lead both INDYCAR and IMS as we enter a new era of opportunity and visibility. He’s an exceptional leader and motivator who is appreciated by our fans and respected by our owners, drivers, partners and additional key stakeholders.”
With Boles joining in this new role, former IndyCar President Jay Frye will be stepping down from the position.
“It has been an absolute honor and privilege to be the President of INDYCAR and work alongside the dedicated and talented men and women at INDYCAR and in the INDYCAR paddock,” Frye said. “The growth and success the series has had over the last 10 years would not be possible without the commitment and collaboration of the owners, drivers and teams.”
Additionally, Mark Sibla will be promoted to Senior Vice President of IndyCar Competition and Operations, Kyle Novak will become IndyCar’s Vice President of Officiating and Race Control, and Alex Damron has been named Chief Marketing Officer of IndyCar.
