NASCAR Appoints Nagy As Series Director For Canadian Tire Series
Image
Alex Nagy has been named series director for the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.
Nagy, originally from Brantford, Ontario, brings a wealth of motorsports experience from both the technical and business aspects of the sport. Most recently he served as spotter and driver coach for Alex Tagliani in the IZOD IndyCar Series.
He also served as crew chief for Tagliani’s efforts in the Canadian Tire Series including a 2008 victory in Edmonton, Alberta. Over six seasons, he also led efforts for Steve Mathews, Pete Shepherd III, Ron Van Es and Jacques Villeneuve in the Canadian stock-car touring series.
Nagy, 50, succeeds Brad Moran, who was appointed as NASCAR Touring Series director in December 2012. Moran held the post for the last four seasons.
After beginning his racing career as a driver in CASCAR—the precursor to the Canadian Tire Series—Nagy worked his way into the business side of the sport as a CASCAR team owner and by managing some race specialty shops in Ontario.
He also served as the track manager and promoter for Twin Fountains Raceway, a karting and legends car complex in Shelbyville, Tennessee, along with launching the first legends car and pro challenge series in Ontario.
Nagy currently resides in Brantford, with his wife and two children.
