Hoover joins the team after spending four years with Indianapolis-based public
relations agency, Hetrick Communications. While there, he created and
implemented various campaigns for clients such as Indy Jazz Fest, the IMAX
Theater in the Indiana State Museum, the Indianapolis Museum of Art and others.
Not a stranger to the IRL, Hoover was part of a team that handled public
relations duties for Cahill Racing and driver Donnie Beechler during the 1999
Indianapolis 500.
A lifelong central Indiana resident, Hoover is a native of Kokomo and now lives
in Indianapolis. He graduated from Franklin College (Franklin, Ind.) with a
degree in advertising and public relations.
"We're extremely happy to welcome Adam to the team," said Red Bull Cheever
Racing owner, Eddie Cheever Jr.. "He brings extensive media relations
experience, which will be invaluable as we move forward during the rest of the
season."
Red Bull Cheever Racing drivers Alex Barron and Patrick Carpentier will be back
on the track competing for the IndyCar Series championship on April 30 at the
Indy Japan 300 in Tokyo, which will air at noon Eastern on ESPN. Carpentier
currently is ninth in the point standings and Barron is 10th.
Red Bull Cheever Racing, based in Indianapolis, is the brainchild of 1998 Indy
500 champion Eddie Cheever Jr. A leader in American motorsports, the IRL IndyCar
Series team is built on Cheever's experience in Formula One, sports cars and
open-wheel oval racing. Corporate and technical partnerships include the world's
leading energy drink Red Bull, Toyota, Dallara, Mecachrome and Firestone.
