Cory Kruseman has been named the director of the United States Auto Club (USAC) West Coast operations, taking on a pivotal role in overseeing all of USAC's racing endeavors throughout the western United States, in addition to handling special projects.

Kruseman, a native of Ventura, California, aims to bridge the gap between racers, race tracks, sponsors and the sport of racing itself in his new role. He brings decades of experience in the sport. As a driver, his decorated career resulted in him being a 2023 inductee into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame. As a car owner, he operates a sprint car driving school, and his own team has won numerous events on the West Coast.

"I just want to be somebody who can help bring everyone together and figure out what it's going to take to help the sport thrive into the future," Kruseman explained. "There's a lot of competition out here on the West Coast, and I think this is the right time to do everything we can to keep auto racing flourishing."
