AMA Senior Vice President for Racing Dennis Rhee has left the organization. Rhee, a turnaround specialist, has worked with other motorsports organizations in the past, helping them restructure their operations. According to a news release issued by the AMA in July 2007, when Rhee was hired, Rhee’s background in motorsports dates from 1990, and includes positions and consulting work with a host of racing organizations, including TrueSports Inc., the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Skip Barber Racing School, Lime Rock Park and NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway. Messages left for Rhee and Rob Dingman, AMA President and Chief Executive Officer, were not immediately returned. This just in: “Mr. Rhee was brought into the AMA for his expertise in restructuring, as was the case with his most recent work with Mid-Ohio, and now that the sale of AMA Pro Racing assets to DMG is completed and we’re transitioning those assets to DMG, Mr. Rhee is leaving the AMA for other opportunities,” says AMA spokesperson Peter terHorst. “Going forward, Mr. Rhee’s responsibilities will be handled by Senior Directors Kevin Crowther and Brian Cohn. Both of them will report to Jeff Massey, vice president of operations. We’re very thankful for the contributions Dennis made while with the AMA and wish him good fortune in his future endeavors.”
