CHARLOTTE–Parella Motorsports Holdings (PMH) announced that Michael Printup will join the company as the President of the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA). In his new role, he will oversee the day-to-day operations of one of the oldest and largest national vintage racing organizations in America. Printup brings nearly three decades of motorsports experience to the role and is best known for his work as president of Watkins Glen International (WGI), where he has spent the last 15 years.
“When I heard that Michael was retiring from Watkins Glen, I couldn’t call him fast enough,” said Tony Parella, CEO of PMH. “Knowing all that he has accomplished throughout his tenure at Watkins Glen makes me very excited for everything he can offer SVRA and PMH. The last few years have been a pivotal time for our company with a lot of growth—we’ve added race series, live streaming, and now we’re focusing on our spectator experience. Michael brings a lot of expertise to the table, and I’m excited for him to get started.”
Printup spent nearly three decades working for NASCAR, most notably in the role of President of WGI. In addition, he was the President of Americrown, and more recently, he oversaw the Levy food service contract for 12 NASCAR-owned racetracks, and directed the Mobil 1 show car program for Tony Stewart.
Printup will begin transitioning into his new role later this month.
Following stops at Portland International Raceway (July 21-23), New Jersey Motorsports Park (July 28-30) and Summit Point Motorsports Park (August 17-20), SVRA will return to Watkins Glen International for the Hilliard U.S. Vintage Grand Prix, a SpeedTour event, Sept. 6-10.
