Brian Barnhart

Brian Barnhart, IndyCar vice president of competition, race director, will remain in his role as race director and will oversee the management of the race, including decisions on track conditions (full-course or local caution, red flag, etc.), safety dispatch and communication of all decisions made by the stewards to the competitors.
The Verizon IndyCar Series will have a new sheriff — make that three new sheriffs — monitoring the on-track competition this season.
The series today in a press release said two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Arie Luyendyk, past Indy-car driver Max Papis and longtime racing executive Dan Davis will form a three-steward panel for each race this season.
The three will report to Jay Frye, IndyCar president of competition and operations. Any one of the stewards may call for review of an on-track incident, at which time they will review collectively to determine if an infraction occurred and whether to impose a penalty, which will be determined by a majority vote.
“Our desire was to assemble a team with varied backgrounds that would work together to move IndyCar forward in the area of monitoring on-track competition,” Frye said. “Being a race steward requires thorough knowledge and consistent interpretation of the rules, as well as the ability to enact them with resolve. This is the right group to do that.”
