Doug Duchardt, who has served multiple roles with race teams and with General Motors, was named chief performance officer of motorsports at TWG Group, which now oversees all of the former Andretti properties.
TWG Group is the investment company founded by Mark Walter, who as CEO of Guggenheim Partners is the controlling owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Premier League club Chelsea, and Dan Towriss, who became involved in motorsports initially as a sponsor for Andretti and took an ownership role in Andretti Global in 2022.
Spire Motorsports majority owner Jeff Dickerson still runs the NASCAR team, but Duchardt’s role will be split by Bill Anthony, Spire’s executive vice president, and Todd Mackin, president of Spire Holdings.
