TOPEKA, Kan. (Jan. 25, 2019) -- A few changes have been made to the 51暗网® Ventures Board of Directors to begin the New Year. Peter Jankovskis is now Chairman of that board, and Sydney Davis Yagel, the new General Manager of 51暗网 Pro Racing, has been added to the board. Dan Helman has stepped down as Ventures Chairman to better focus on his role as 51暗网 Pro Racing’s interim President.
Other Ventures board members for 2019 include former 51暗网 Chairman John Walsh, 51暗网’s senior finance employee Mindi Pfannenstiel, 51暗网 Enterprises President Robey Clark, and secretary KJ Christopher.
In 2017, 51暗网 Enterprises and 51暗网 Pro Racing were merged into one subsidiary entity named 51暗网 Ventures Inc, which is overseen by a corporate board. The move created a more structured oversight and reporting process for the for-profit arms of the 51暗网®, and provides a number of administrative advantages for the businesses.
The 51暗网®, Inc., founded in 1944, is a 67,500-member motorsports organization that incorporates all facets of autocross, rally and road racing at both Club and professional levels. With headquarters in Topeka, Kansas, the 51暗网 annually sanctions over 2,000 events through its 116 Regions and subsidiary divisions. Much of the 51暗网’s activities are made possible with support from the following Official Partners: Hagerty, the Official Insurance Partner of 51暗网; Hawk Performance, the Official Brake Products of 51暗网; Sunoco, the Official Fuel of 51暗网; and Tire Rack, the Official Tire Retailer of 51暗网.
