IndyCar hired Mike O’Gara as VP of competition and race engineering

It’s weird that IndyCar is still staffing up its competition side in the middle of the season, but at least the hires appear well qualified. The new vice president of competition and race engineering at IndyCar is Mike O’Gara, an Indiana native who has been an executive at Chip Ganassi Racing for 12 years. He established Ganassi’s Cadillac IMSA program, in addition to helping make Ganassi as unassailable as it currently is in IndyCar. Seems like the right guy to be in charge of, among other things, rolling out the new race car.
