Jade Gurss, author of In the Red, owner of publicity firm fingerprint inc., and the previous publicity coordinator for the Budweiser racing team has been appointed as the Director of Corporate Communications for Andretti Autosport.
Making the switch from NASCAR to the IndyCar side of racing should not be difficult for the Topeka, Kansas native with his diverse background in multiple forms of racing. He grew up around super modified racing, has experience in publicity operation for drag racing, and handled marketing and publicity for the CART and Formula 1 engine branch of Mercedes-Benz prior to his experience with the Budweiser team and formation of fingerprint inc.
In regard to his new position Gurss says, “I’ve always been very passionate about Indy car racing, and to be back in the sport with the most legendary name in racing, a roster of young, personable and fast drivers and a wide variety of sponsors is an ideal situation with immense potential. I can’t wait to get started.”
With over two decades of marketing and public relations in his background, Gurss is well equipped to take the helm of publicity operations for the IndyCar team of Andretti Autosport. He states he is looking forward to working with current IndyCar drivers such as Marco Andretti, James Hinchcliffe, and Ryan Hunter Reay as well as with up-and-coming names like Zach Veach, Thomas McGregor, and others.
Based in Indianapolis Indiana, Andretti Autosport is led by IndyCar racing’s Michael Andretti and fields cars not only in the IZOD IndyCar Series but also in the Star Mazda Championship, USF2000 National Championship, and Indy Lights series.
