Dover Motorsports, Inc., owner of the track,
announced his hiring on Saturday.
One of Moses' first duties will be to oversee the reopening of
the Superspeedway, which closed in 2011 and is scheduled to host
a NASCAR Cup Series race in June. The 1.33-mile track previously
hosted Xfinity Series, Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series and
IndyCar Series races but never a Cup Series race.
"We are very excited and fortunate to hire an outstanding leader
and executive such as Erik, who has tremendous experience in all
areas of sports, events and live entertainment," Mike Tatoian,
executive vice president and COO of Dover Motorsports, told The
Tennessean. "Erik's addition to our company and the outstanding
reputation he has in the industry punctuates our commitment to
revitalizing Nashville Superspeedway and serving the Middle
Tennessee community."
Moses, 49, most recently was the founding president of the DC
Defenders of the XFL and has a long history in Washington,
D.C.-area sports. He was senior vice president at Events DC for
more than 10 years.
"I am excited to join the team at Dover Motorsports to lead the
reopening of the Nashville Superspeedway and bring the
excitement of Cup Series racing to Middle Tennessee," Moses
said. "I have long admired NASCAR for its commitment to the fan
experience and am thrilled to have the opportunity to create the
optimal race day experience that NASCAR fans deserve in a market
that has such a rich history with the sport."
A graduate of Duke University School of Law, Moses also has
worked in corporate and private legal practices.
