Marty Hunt has joined the Grand Prix of America at Port Imperial as director of race operations and the newest member of its senior executive team.
Hunt has worked in raceway operational management for more than 25 years, bringing experience and knowledge to the event. He joins an established team that recently welcomed motorsports leader Christopher Pook. Other executive team members include YES Network founding chairman and CEO Leo Hindery, Jr., sports and entertainment veteran Dennis Robinson, and sports marketing and corporate development executive Dick Goldschmidt.
"As we continue to get ready for 2014, I am pleased to welcome Marty Hunt as our newest senior executive," said race promoter Hindery. "Few people in our sport are as accomplished as Marty Hunt in getting the cars to the starting grid and giving the fans an exciting, safe race."
Most recently, Hunt served as the director of facilities at Circuit of the Americas. He previously served as operations manager for the Richard Petty Driving Experience and senior director of facility and operations at Chicagoland Speedway and Route 66 Raceway. He also spent nearly 10 years at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, first as manager of track racing operations and later as director of operations.
