Ruzewski Joins Andretti Global as Team Principal

TWG Motorsports, a division of TWG Global, today announced that Ron Ruzewski (pictured), one of three Team Penske executives fired during an Indianapolis 500 scandal, will join Andretti Global as Team Principal over the Indianapolis-based INDYCAR and INDY NXT teams starting in January 2026. This comes as long-time Andretti Global Team Principal Rob Edwards transitions to the role of Chief Performance Officer for TWG Motorsports.

“We are thrilled to welcome Ron Ruzewski to the TWG Motorsports family as the new Team Principal of Andretti Global,’’ said Dan Towriss, CEO of TWG Motorsports. “Ron’s impressive and successful career in motorsports brings a new perspective to our INDYCAR and INDY NXT teams. I have full confidence he will position the team strongly as we continue to build for the future.”

Ruzewski has built a respected career in INDYCAR as an accomplished engineer and team leader, known for his sharp technical mind and collaborative approach. He brings with him decades of experience in leading competition and development within the INDYCAR series, including time spent with Team Penske, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. and Walker Racing. An industry veteran, he has multiple championships and Indy 500 wins on his resume.

“I’m truly excited to be joining Andretti Global and becoming part of such a respected and ambitious organization,” said Ruzewski. “Andretti Global’s legacy in motorsport speaks for itself, and the team’s vision for the future, under the leadership of Dan [Towriss] and Jill [Gregory], is equally inspiring. I look forward to collaborating with the talented group of engineers, drivers and staff across the organization as we push to achieve new levels of performance and success in INDYCAR and across the broader Andretti family of teams.”

Since joining Andretti Global in 2015, Edwards has overseen competition operations that have contributed to multiple INDYCAR wins, working closely with drivers, engineers and crews to maximize performance on track. His steady leadership and knowledge of the sport have made him a trusted figure in the paddock and a key contributor to Andretti Global’s continued success in INDYCAR racing.

“I’m excited about the new opportunity as Chief Performance Officer for TWG Motorsports,” said Edwards. “I look forward to being able to contribute across multiple series. Ron and I have known each other since the early 1990s, and he is a great choice to lead the Andretti programs forward.”

“Rob has been a central part of the Andretti Global journey for the last decade and has served with unwavering dedication,” added Towriss. “We’re excited to have Rob take on this new role, engaging and collaborating with Team Principals from our family of race teams, including involvement in NASCAR and IMSA, as well as Formula E, INDYCAR and INDY NXT.”
