Bobby Regan

Team Principal
Much of the team’s successful work ethic and drive can be attributed to team Principal Bobby Regan. Regan originally comes from a football background and understands the value of proper training, being prepared and how to make adjustments as needed when the game calls for it. As an entrepreneur from Mississippi whose successful business endeavors have included owning a bank and now owning and operating a multi-line auto dealership, Regan has proven himself both on and off the track. Regan’s management and business experience helps make Star Racing one of the most organized and trained teams in the paddock.
