Green Savoree Racing Promotions, chairman and CEO
Kim Green is chairman and chief executive officer of Green Savoree Racing Promotions (GSRP), a company he co-founded in 2009 with Kevin Savoree. The Indianapolis-based company owns, operates and promotes auto-racing properties and events across North America.
Under his leadership, and with a growing number of quality partnerships and sponsorships, GSRP has commercialized NTT INDYCAR SERIES events under the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, Grand Prix of Portland and Honda Indy Toronto banners, as well as a full calendar of events and a renowned driving and motorcycle riding school based at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course – a historical racing facility in Lexington, Ohio, which GSRP purchased in 2011. Through these racing properties, Kim has been able to showcase some of the most exciting racing series on the continent including IMSA SportsCars, NTT INDYCAR SERIES, NASCAR XFINITY Series among others to international audiences.
Prior to launching GSRP with Kevin, Kim held senior ranking positions with various racing teams alongside his brother Barry Green. With Kim as the team manager and Jacques Villeneuve as the team’s driver, that pairing delivered both the 1995 Indianapolis 500 win and CART PPG IndyCar World Series Cup season championship. In addition to their off-track successes as business partners since 1993, Kim and Kevin have also won four INDYCAR season championships, three Indianapolis 500 races, and the 12 Hours of Sebring as race team principals, and operated INDYCAR’s first street race in 2005 at St. Petersburg, Fla.
