Eldora Speedway, Rossburg, Ohio, has hired championship-winning USAC driver and motorsports executive Levi Jones as its new general manager.

Jones previously raced for Eldora Speedway owner Tony Stewart's USAC team from 2006 to 2013. He was most recently director of INDY NXT, the feeder series for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.

Jones will officially begin his general manager role at Eldora on September 16 following INDYCAR's season finale at Nashville Superspeedway. Jones' first race as Eldora general manager will be the 4-Crown Nationals, which features consecutive nights of racing September 20-21, headlined by the Kubota High Limit Racing winged sprint-car series and the USAC Sprint Car, Midget and Silver Crown National Championship series.
