Wes Cerny arrives at Schumacher Racing with a well-stocked resume. Over the years, the 59-year-old has worked with a prominent group of drivers and owners. Last season, he directed McClenathan to a win at the Auto Club of Southern California Finals, while finishing fifth in the final standings.
"I'm excited about this new opportunity to work for Schumacher Racing and the U.S. Army team," said Cerny. "I consider this a step up. Certainly, we want to be in the winner's circle as often as possible, while competing for a world championship."
