MOORESVILLE, NC (January 12, 2007)-- Dan Pikarsky, who has served as director of business development at Cagnazzi Racing for the past three years, has been promoted to senior vice president of business development.
In his new role, Pikarsky will build and oversee the operation of the business development group and will continue his management of sponsor relations.
"Dan has done an outstanding job in identifying, developing and building new sponsor relationships and partners for Cagnazzi Racing," said Victor Cagnazzi "In his three years here he has been instrumental in helping our business and team grow, and we're confident that Dan's efforts will be equally effective in his expanded role."

"I am excited about the opportunity to build the business development group, and I'm up for the challenge" Pikarsky said. "I have some key hires to accomplish, one we'll be announcing in the next few days that we're excited about." "Our goal is to continue to identify new partnership opportunities for the Slammers Ultimate Milk team, the Torco/ Slammers team, and the NHRA, as well as developing new sponsor partners for future expansion." "When I started here 3 years ago the whole team was Victor, Kenny, Todd and Dewey, now there are 20 very experienced people working around the shop, I hope three years from now we'll have double."
