Chris Ward has been named president of Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR), taking over leadership of the IMSA-owned vintage and historic sports car racing sanctioning body from David Hinton.

Ward most recently served as head of motorsport for Lamborghini North America from 2014 to 2023, where he oversaw day-to-day operations of the IMSA-sanctioned Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America Series, including sanctioning body coordination, team and customer liaison and acquisition, parts supply chain management and logistics and hospitality operations.

Hinton served as HSR president for the last 11 years after acquiring majority ownership of the organization in 2012 in partnership with the late George Tuma. IMSA acquired the series in 2022.

He will also remain on the Board of Directors for HSR and continue to operate his historic racing team, Heritage Motorsports, out of Clearwater, Florida.
