According to reports published in the U.S. and from journalist Robin Miller, the much controversial Brian Barnhart, competition president for the IndyCar Series, will leave his position in the coming days but will remain with the open-wheel series, although his future responsibilities are not known.
Barnhart had been widely criticized over recent years but, his recent decisions, especially during a chaotic New Hampshire race when he made the decision to restart the race in wet conditions when the cars were still fitted with slicks was obviously the last straw.
Also involved in the re-shuffling game is commercial president Terry Angstadt who will be replaced by Mark Koretzky, who served as IndyCar's business development director in 2011.
Both Angstadt and Barnhart were the final two remaining links to Tony George's Indy Racing League.
