In addition to the plentiful
positive changes for the upcoming
2022 season, MIR and Royce Miller
are proud to announce that Jennifer
Hunt will assume a new role as both
the Chief Financial Officer and
General Manager of the historic
track. “I am excited to begin my new
role here at MIR. This is a
wonderful opportunity to work with
series and event promoters to
continue bringing the best national
drag racing events to the best
racetrack in the country.” Hunt
stated.
Hunt has been working alongside
Royce Miller for more than a decade,
starting her career at MIR back in
January of 2010. She’s held multiple
roles during her tenure, with her
most notable and recent role being
the Office Manager, Graphics
Coordinator, and Accounting and HR
Manager. Hunt’s dedication and
enthusiasm for MIR and the track are
visible in all her work and will
continue to elevate MIR as a premier
racing destination.
Hunt also recognizes the
significance of MIR’s world-class
crew and is excited to increase her
involvement in supporting the staff
in her new role. “I’m especially
looking forward to working alongside
Gene Herbert, the Director of
Operations, on more track-side
business, as well as supporting
Royce in scaling back his role so
that he can spend more time with his
family, while leading a team of the
best track officials in the
business!”
Royce stated, “The first person I
spoke to outside of my immediate
family about buying the track back
was Jenn. I wanted to be sure she
was on board and committed to the
craziness that operating a track can
be before I committed to the
purchase. Jenn has the experience,
knowledge, and relationships with
all the staff, co-promoters,
sanction body, vendors, sponsors,
racers and more that makes her fit
the bill for this position
perfectly. She will be taking on
many more responsibilities in the
day-to-day business and directing
staff to allow me to focus more on
business development and facility
improvements -- and yes, maybe soon
some time off. Jenn has excellent
technical and people skills and is
going to be an awesome General
Manager!”
Royce further stated, “I feel
blessed and am proud to have Jenn
and our dedicated staff by my side
to take MIR into this next chapter
of this storied facility.”
