Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing named Jay Frye as their new Team President on Tuesday. Frye replaces the departing Steve Eriksen, who had served as Chief Operating Officer (COO) since January 2023.

“First, I would like to thank Steve Eriksen for all of the work he did for us, particularly at a critical moment in time for the company and we certainly wish him the best in his next endeavor,” said Team Co-Owner Bobby Rahal in today’s announcement. (David Letterman and Mike Lanigan also co-own the team).

“I’m very pleased to have Jay Frye join the team as president of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. I’ve known him since his arrival on the INDYCAR scene in 2013 and have spent a lot of time with him and think highly of his character and his passion for the sport. I look forward to working with him in the future to take RLL to the place we all want it to be.”

Frye, who most recently spent the last six years as INDYCAR President, brings over 30 years of sports and marketing experience to the organization. He will oversee the program’s INDYCAR and IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Series programs.

“Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing has a tremendous history of success, both on and off the track,” added Frye.

“I am very proud to be joining the dedicated and talented team of people at RLL. RLL has the foundation, infrastructure and an incredible commitment to continue being successful well into the future.”

Both INDYCAR and IMSA return to action next weekend at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.
