Branham Named Managing Director Of Communications For GRAND-AM

GRAND-AM Road Racing announced today that Herb Branham has been named the sanctioning body's Managing Director of Communications, effective immediately. Branham moves to GRAND-AM from NASCAR, where he was the Director of Written Communications.

Branham, 55, has been with NASCAR since 2001 and will retain a portion of his duties with that organization. His emphasis, though, will be with GRAND-AM, where he will report to President Tom Bledsoe.

For most of the recently completed 2010 season, Branham headed GRAND-AM's public relations efforts in an interim role, concentrating on increasing media coverage on both the national and in-race market levels. Also, since 2009, Branham has worked on the production of the organization's postseason awards banquets.
