Verizon IndyCar Series competition president Jay Frye sits down with RACER’s Marshall Pruett for the first episode of a multi-part “My Racing Life and Career” feature where we get to know the man behind so many of the positive changes that are revitalizing IndyCar.

Frye brings us inside his childhood, formative years in school, the ensuing move into the corporate world, and his shift to NASCAR where running big and small teams gave him the tools needed to become one of IndyCar’s pillars of progress.
