Ron Green, Director of PR for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was released after an eleven year stint as the spokesperson for the facility which includes the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.

CEO Jeff Belkus is reported on IndyStar.com to say the release of Green and other significant staff reductions were necessary to offset recent financial losses.

Ron was hired by Leo Mehl to manage PR for the then PepBoys Indy Racing League in 1999 as well as the Speedway.

There still hasn't been a significant position taken by Belskus other than there will be no change. Except, and awful lot of heads are rolling.
