The 2015 Pirelli World Challenge features a new race operations committee as well as a new Race Director in Dorsey Schroeder.

Schroeder, a past road racing event winner and series champion, comes to the Pirelli World Challenge after a successful career as a driver and TV racing analyst. In addition, Schroeder will lead the committee with another former racing champion, Brian Till, Pirelli World Challenge Chief Driving Steward, and Chief Steward Pat di Natale. PWC Competition Director Marcus Haselgrove will advise the race committee.

“Dorsey’s racing background as a racing champion as well as a television analyst gives our series a seasoned veteran who understands the drivers’ thinking in a race car,” said Scott Bove, president and CEO of WC Vision, Pirelli World Challenge. “He is a respected professional who can work closely with the drivers and teams regarding competition on and off the track.”

Schroeder, a Missouri native, has competed in variety of racing series throughout his four decades of driving, including Trans-Am, IROC, IMSA, Grand-Am, Sprint Cup, NASCAR trucks, ARCA and SCCA, as well as driving in this year’s Rolex 24 at Daytona. Dorsey’s series titles came in the Lucas Challenge, Trans-Am, and IMSA GTO and GTU categories.

Till is a former Formula Atlanta champion and still serves as an on-air commentator for numerous racing series. Di Natale has served as chief steward in a variety of SCCA-sanctioned series, including the Pirelli World Challenge.
