Why did IndyCar split with Jay Frye?

MARSHALL PRUETT: I tried presenting this in a soft manner up front, but to be honest, didn’t get much of an answer. So Mark, I’ll throw it back in a more direct way, because I know that my phone, and I’m sure many of the reporters here, their phones and otherwise have been filled with the same question: Why did you fire Jay Frye?
MARK MILES: Exactly how things unfolded with Jay is not a matter that I’ll get into. I started this call by thanking him, and I mean it. I personally have appreciated working with Jay, and I feel like the fact that he’s no longer with us has created this opportunity to, as you sort of put it, with Doug, to broaden the impact to go from the very strong base we have in terms of comp and ops and integrate more, maybe break down the silos a bit between comp and ops and the commercial side of the sport, and I think that’ll just tighten our growth.
