"But I am really excited about my new role in racing as a team owner and fielding cars for former Champ Car driver Andrew Ranger. Alan Labrosse, President of Professional Sports Management and I have worked closely together for several months to put this deal together. Alan and I both have a lot of great people working with us and a lot of great partners involved in making this program a success.
