Executive Transactions

NASCAR promoted Senior Manager for Team Marketing Services JIMMY SMALL to Iowa Speedway President. The announcement comes on the heels of NASCAR's recent purchase of the speedway (NASCAR). The 28-year-old Small is considered a "rising star" in the racing industry. His background in "improving the fan experience, sponsor relations and ticket sales helped convince the organization to put him in charge in Iowa." Small has been with NASCAR in "a variety of of capacities" since '08 (AP, 12/12)....St. Petersburg-based businessman BILL EDWARDS has become Principal Owner of the NASL Tampa Bay Rowdies (NASL).
