International Motor Racing Research Center Executive Director Dan DeRusha announced he is stepping back from his full-time duties for personal reasons resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s a difficult decision to make and my passion for motorsports history and the IMRRC’s long-term success will remain unchanged,” said DeRusha. “I will continue in an interim capacity to support Center operations during the search and transition to my successor.”
The IMRRC will launch a search for a new executive director immediately. Governing Council Chairman John Saunders stated, “We’re looking for an executive director to build on Dan’s success and to further our mission of preserving and sharing the history of motorsports. On behalf of the staff and the Governing Council, I applaud Dan for his contributions to the Center and commitment to a seamless transition of leadership. We wish Dan and his family all the best.” You can find the full job description with instructions for applying here.
