Tom Bledsoe named president of Grand-Am
Veteran NASCAR executive, Tom Bledsoe has been named president of Grand-Am Road Racing. Bledsoe has served as Grand-Am's chief operation officer and vice president since December 2007, and has been acting president since Roger Edmondson took a leave of absence earlier this year due to health reasons.
“I am looking forward to meeting the challenge,” Bledsoe said. “This year we've seen record attendance and double-digit television ratings, while maintaining an average combined car count of nearly 100 between the Rolex Sports Car Series and Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge.”
Bledsoe oversees all aspects of Grand-Am's strategic vision and includes direct oversight of the company's competition and administration departments in his new role. Prior to joining Grand-Am, Bledsoe had been an integral part of NASCAR for the past 19 years, where he was treasurer and chief financial officer. The veteran executive’s knowledge and experience has been instrumental in generating similar additional growth and expansion to Grand-Am, according to the sanctioning body.
