Tony George out as IMS CEO

[btisu22]

The board decided to vote Tony out this morning as CEO of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. From what I've seen, he has lost $600 mil. over the last 13 years. Possible replacement that has been in Indy is Humpy Wheeler. Humpy has been running NASCAR races for years. I'm trying to find a story to link, but haven't found one yet. Tony will still be CEO for the IRL.

Wow! That's huge. No Hulman running IMS. And replacing him with a guy named Humpy. Sorry, but that's just funny...:imslow:

Someone is not reporting this story correctly. I hope that Tony is still the CEO of the track. I feel that he has done a good job. There seemed to be more people at the race this year than there was last year.

That is a Robin Miller story--enough said.:krazy:

Is the Star correct?

Is the IMS/Hulman and Co Board comprised of Tony, his mother, 3 sisters and the lawyer as the Star reported?

If so; doubt Tony is going to step down as the Chair.

Tempest in a teapot; maybe the sisters are concerned about the monthly checks; maybe the mother is concerned she'll have to reduce the charitable donations; maybe they're all concerned that Tony's working too much.

Great win by Helio; on to Milwaukee

This went away quickly, no?
