So long as the dysfunctional HG family keeps running IMS and The IndyCar Series, I’m not sure it matters who the CEO is. We had a fine CEO, who we just kicked to the curb because the HG family wouldn’t support him.

A consultant is basically just someone from out of town. I think Josie made a good choice. Randy came with a record of success and I don’t think it is accurate to suggest that he was just “slapped in there”.

CEO of any organization requires unique talents that are specific to the nuances of that organization. So while this is a fun and harmless exercise, finding the right person is preferable to just slapping someone in there. To some extent that’s what happened with Randy (Josie thought it would be super cool to have him as CEO!!) and IMO that contributed to where we are now.

Perhaps in another post you could fill your self-described 12 readers in on his background and qualifications. I know almost nothing about the man.

Great time for Indycar to be leaderless, directionless and apparently clueless.

I don’t believe that Pete Rozell, Paul Tagliabue or Roger Goodell ever made it to an NFL training camp or played a down in a league game and they did alright.
