Matt Muha Named President and General Managerof Sebring International RacewayWayne Estes To Retire After 10 Years as President of Raceway
Matt Muha has been named to succeed Wayne Estes as President and General Manager of Sebring International Raceway, effective January 1, 2026.
Estes is retiring March 31 after the 74th running of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. He will serve in an administrative role for the IMSA property during the management transition.
“We’re very pleased to elevate Matt Muha to the role of President and General Manager of Sebring International Raceway,” said IMSA CEO Ed Bennett. “Matt’s deep operational experience and passion for motorsports make him the ideal leader to guide Sebring Raceway into its next chapter.
“At the same time, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Wayne Estes for his remarkable decade of leadership. Wayne’s impact on Sebring and the broader IMSA community has been profound, and we wish him all the best in his well-earned retirement.”Muha joined Sebring Raceway as a firefighter in 2012 while serving as Captain of the West Sebring Fire Department. He became Safety Director in 2014 and most recently served as the facility’s Senior Director, Operations.
“I am honored for this opportunity to lead the Sebring team moving forward as we make plans for the landmark 75th running of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in 2027,” said Muha. “IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship racing is experiencing a golden era, and it is a privilege to present one of sports car racing’s classic events at this very special time.
“I’m eager to work with our well-established marketing team at Sebring Raceway and all of my teammates to operate one of the most legendary road racing facilities in the world. I also look forward to expanding our great relationships with the car clubs, racing teams, and sports car organizations that use this facility almost 300 days a year.”
The facility has undergone significant upgrades during Muha’s tenure, including the construction of the Gateway to Green Park bridge, 2024 renovation and rededication of the Officers Club, improvements to the Seven Sebring Raceway Hotel, roadway and landscaping improvements, and upgrades to the fleet of track services equipment that serves not only Sebring Raceway, but also tracks at Daytona International Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway and Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
Muha also led track services teams at the Chicago Street Races and Mexico City races for the NASCAR Cup Series.
“Since joining Sebring International Raceway in 2014, Matt Muha has played a pivotal role in elevating one of America’s most iconic motorsport venues,” said IMSA President John Doonan. “His leadership and vision have driven significant infrastructure improvements, enhanced the fan experience, and strengthened Sebring Raceway’s position on the global racing stage.
“Beyond Sebring Raceway, Matt’s impact has extended across the company, contributing to operations and event success at many other company-owned facilities and events. Matt’s commitment to excellence and deep understanding of the sport have made a lasting impact, and IMSA is proud to continue working alongside him as Sebring Raceway enters its next chapter.”
Estes joined Sebring International Raceway as president in 2015 after 17 years with Bristol Motor Speedway. During his tenure, Estes focused on facility improvements for the loyal Sebring Raceway fan base.
“Motorsports has been part of my life since I was a child,” said Estes. “My first job out of school was as motorsports editor for the Savannah Morning News, and all jobs after – Coca-Cola USA, Campbell and Company/Ford Racing, Bristol Motor Speedway, and Sebring International Raceway – all were possible only because of the NASCAR enterprise the France family created and nurtured for even longer than I’ve been alive.
“I am so grateful to the incredible team assembled here, the loyal and passionate guests who consider Sebring Raceway to be a part of themselves, our corporate partners, local officials, Sebring Airport Authority leadership, and the outstanding executive team at IMSA and NASCAR that made so many outstanding improvements possible at Sebring International Raceway over the past decade.”

World Racing League Visits Sebring Nov. 7-9
World Racing League returns to Sebring International Raceway Nov. 7-9 with an anticipated full field of cars from four diverse categories. A total of 15 hours of racing in two separate endurance races will take place Saturday and Sunday. 
Opening day will include up to eight hours of testing, with Nov. 10 featuring an eight-hour race on the 3.74-mile circuit starting at approximately 9 a.m., and a Nov. 11 seven-hour race beginning at approximately 8 a.m.
Tickets include a three-day pass allowing overnight camping from Friday-Sunday for $20 per person, and a one-day pass for either Saturday or Sunday is $10. Children 12 and under are admitted free, and on-site camping is also free. Full power and water RV camping spots also are available for $100. Unreserved parking is included. All tickets will be available on-site and can be purchased at Gate 1.
As many as 75 cars from throughout the United States will compete in this WRL National event and Sebring will also be the season-ending WRL Eastern Championship. Five different classes will compete including GTO, GTU, GP1, GP2 and GP3 with both professional and amateur drivers throughout the 15 hours of racing.
WRL’s races are split into categories determined by power-to-weight ratios (PWR). These classes are split further into GP (General Production) and GTO (Grand Touring Open) classes. A car’s PWR is determined by dividing its weight (full of fuel, no driver, empty cool box) by its horsepower as measured on an on-site Dynojet.
New Ulmann Straight Bridge Being Built
Sebring International Raceway will add its sixth bridge to the legendary property in time for the 74th running of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. 
As crowds and demand for space continue to grow, the new Ulmann walkover bridge will directly connect Ulmann Parking on the south end of the property to the Alan Jay Automotive Network Paddock. This pedestrian-only bridge will provide convenient access for competitors and fans alike who will now avoid the heavily congested paddock drive-over bridge. 
In addition, spectators will have additional parking options off Carroll Shelby Road, including overnight RV parking. In addition to the bridge, trackside RV parking spaces have been extended toward Turn 16, a new road has been added to access the east end of the Ulmann Straight, and a new viewing mound has been built outside of Turn 16 providing, for the first time, excellent views of the exciting Turns 15 and 16. Fans will access this new vantage point by car or golf cart, and can also walk from the competitor paddock by using the new walkover bridge.
Sebring Officers Club
Sebring Officers Club has been enhanced to include casual meals in addition to the exceptional service for which it has become known.
Sebring Officers Club admission includes an open bar on all three days, morning coffee and casual meals for Friday and Saturday for lunch and Saturday dinner. Surrounded by the nostalgia of the WWII era building in which the Officers Club exists, Sebring Officers Club is one Sebring’s most entertaining venues. In addition to enjoying exceptional hospitality with a limited number of guests, you’re just steps from the bustle of the Fan Zone featuring parties, food trucks, nightly concerts and the amazing PX featuring all the Sebring and IMSA merchandise you could imagine. 
Guests live the history of the Officers Club in the last remaining building from what was Hendricks Field, a United States Army Air Forces base. A general admission parking pass is included with each order.
