I don't know him, but I do know of some things his company has done near me. This is the outfit that runs Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala., and has the Barber Museum there. The track is a road course that will probably host an IRL event at some point and I'd like to see it draw a NASCAR date. The museum is dedicated mostly to motorcycle history and was such an architectural wonder when it was built that you can get a specialty license plate in Alabama honoring the thing.
However, I don't think they care much about cost containment, which will be a big part of his job at USBC. It's quite expensive to use any of Barber's facilities here.
