Two experienced NASCAR executives have been appointed to key roles at Andretti Global following Michael Andretti's decision to step aside. Doug Duchardt, a seasoned professional with a background in race teams and General Motors, has been named chief performance officer of motorsports at TWG Group, which now oversees all former Andretti properties. Jill Gregory, a former NASCAR vice president and marketing officer who also managed Sonoma Raceway, has been appointed chief operating officer of a TWG subsidiary and president of Andretti Global.
The announcement was made during a team meeting at the Andretti race shop in Indiana. TWG Group, founded by Mark Walter and Dan Towriss, is the investment company behind the restructuring. Towriss, now the majority owner of Andretti race teams and CEO of TWG Global's motorsports arm, will unveil the new name for the motorsports branch next week.
