From the press release: In his new role, Park will oversee the daily operations of the seven NHRA Division Directors, using his extensive background to improve divisional events and strengthen relationships with member tracks and stakeholders.

and "I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to continue serving the sport of NHRA drag racing," Park said. "My passion has always been rooted in supporting sportsman racers and member tracks, and I am thrilled that this new position will enable me to collaborate closely with Division Directors, their teams, and the Field Marketing staff. Together, we will work to elevate and enhance the sportsman racing experience, ensuring it remains as thrilling and rewarding as possible for everyone involved."

So that last paragraph was definitely written by a PR person so disregard the "deeply honored", "thrilled" and "remains" but as in my previous post, to me he is someone who I think is indeed interested in the elevate and enhance part.

Having known Rob since he started in D5, he has always been a great guy to deal with! I'm sure he will do a good job in the new position with NHRA! Congrats Rob!!

I see his old position was the Sportsman Racing Mentor. What did he do in that position and who did he mentor? Maybe he can mentor Josh Peterson in his new spot???

[Larry Hill]

Did he and Clair McCaskill have something to do with the Kansas City track?

[Dan Bennett]

Not sure about the other name, but his family's track was (is?) in far west/southwest Missouri close to the state line.

Larry, I believe you are correct.
