Veteran motorsports executive Tom Weisenbach has been named Executive Director of the International Council of Motorsport Sciences (ICMS). Former ICMS Executive Director Don Andrews will retire from his post.

In addition, the ICMS international headquarters will move to "the racing capital of the world," Indianapolis, Indiana.

The ICMS is a 501 (c) non-profit association of scientific and educational professionals focused on the improvement of performance and safety in the motorsports industry. ICMS members are interested in all forms of motorsports, as well as any activities that utilize motor power and drivers.

Weisenbach has spent over 23 years working in the racing industry including stints with NHRA, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, IndyCar, and Keystone Marketing. In 2006, Weisenbach was named the first Executive Director of the Indiana Motorsports Association. In addition, the Ball State graduate was a partner in the International Motorsport Industry Show.

In 2013, Weisenbach launched the Motorsports Safety Education Foundations (MSEF) where he worked with sanctioning bodies, race tracks, and drivers on safety education.

“I am extremely excited for my new position with the ICMS,” Weisenbach said. “I have spent a lot of my time in motorsports cultivating partnerships and I believe this is an area the ICMS can grow. The ICMS needs to have the motorsports safety products manufacturers engaged in what we do. I am anxious to work with the companies I have associated with over the years with NHRA, IndyCar, IMS, Indiana Motorsports Association, International Motorsport Industry Show and the Motorsports Safety Education Foundation. I have already heard from several companies asking how they can get involved so looking forward to continuing those relationships.”

The ICMS Annual Congress takes place in conjunction with the PRI Trade Show in Indianapolis, Indiana. This year's event is scheduled to take place Wednesday through Friday, December 9-11, 2020. The ICMS Race Track Safety Program, which provides frontline rescue and medical care workers with best practices, will take place that Friday.
