Race Engineer : Eddie Jones
Chief Mechanic : Mike Horvath
General Manager : Kyle Moyer

In 30-plus years of motorsport, Eddie Jones has been a successful driver, mechanic, designer, chief engineer and company executive.

Prior to working with Marco, he was for three years Dan Wheldon's race engineer on the #26 Klein Tools/Jim Beam Dallara/Honda/Firestone, working with Wheldon the year he took the title.

Eddie was race engineer for Michael Andretti's Team Motorola in 2001's CART FedEx Championship Series (the year Michael finished 3rd in the championship). Eddie came to Andretti Green in 1997 as the lead engineer for Team KOOL Green's Indy Light series with drivers such as Greg Ray, Chris Simmons, Naoki Hattori and Jonny Kane.

Behind Marco in the pits are some of the League’s best and most proven veterans led by engineer Eddie Jones, chief mechanic Mike Horvath and race strategist Kyle Moyer.

In 2005 Mike Horvath (veteran of Team KOOL Green days where he worked with Dario Franchitti) took the Indycar Chief Mechanic of the Year Award and its $25,000 prize for his work during Dan Wheldon's Championship season. Horvath was Dan Wheldon's crew chief for two years.

Mike - a Seattler - is also a two-time Indy 500 winner. He was on Chip Ganassi's team when Juan Pablo Montoya won the 2000 Indy 500. In May 2005, Wheldon piloted his Andretti-Green car to victory in the Indy 500, and went on to win the Indy Racing League title. Wheldon switched to the Ganassi team, and Marco Andretti took the vacated ride at AGR. You know the rest...



Race Engineer: Eddie Jones
Hometown: London, England

Eddie Jones took over the engineering duties of the NYSE car and Marco Andretti in 2006, a season that saw a win at Infineon and a second-place result at Indianapolis. Jones will continue as the race engineer for Andretti in 2007. Jones was a vital component in the IndyCar Series championship-winning efforts of the Klein Tools/Jim Beam crew in 2005. In addition to the 2005 championship, Jones helped engineer Dan Wheldon's winning efforts at the 89th running of the Indianapolis 500. 2004 saw the combination earn a third-place finish at Indy and a runner-up finish in the 2004 IndyCar Series standings.

Jones, a native of London, England, enjoyed a milestone year in 2003, serving as race engineer during the final four starts of Michael Andretti’s driving career, not including the 2006 Indianapolis 500, before helping Wheldon to the 2003 IndyCar Series Rookie of the Year title. Now in the 37th year of his racing career, Jones brings a lengthy professional resume to his position at Andretti Green Racing. With career highlights that include engineering the Shannon S2000 race car, Jones joined Team Green in 1997 as the chief engineer for Green’s Indy Lights program working with young drivers Chris Simmons, Greg Ray, Naoki Hattori and Jonny Kane. In 2001 Jones became Andretti’s race engineer.


General Manager: Kyle Moyer
Hometown: Monrovia, Indiana

Longtime motorsports professional Kyle Moyer returns in 2007 as Andretti
Green Racing's General Manager, a position he transitioned into in 2004. In that role, Moyer oversees the team's four-car IndyCar Series racing operation and the new Acura-powered ALMS entry.

Since beginning his racing career in 1978 with Bettenhausen Racing, Moyer worked with such organizations as Gurney/Curb Racing and Galles-Kraco Racing before joining Forsythe-Green Racing in 1993, where he served as the team manager for Jacques Villeneuve in the Toyota Atlantic Championship. Moyer made the move to Team Green in 1994 where he earned a CART title and an Indy 500 win with Villeneuve in 1995 and then went on to work for five seasons with Dario Franchitti (1998-2002). During that stretch, Franchitti notched 10 wins and 11 poles, and posted a career-best runner-up finish in the CART championship standings in
1999.

When AGR began racing in the IndyCar Series in 2003, Moyer called races for Franchitti and Bryan Herta as each drove races for the team in 2003. Since joining the IndyCar Series, Moyer has directed AGR drivers to six wins from the pit box, one with Bryan Herta in 2003, two in each season of 2004 and 2005 with Franchitti and one with Marco Andretti in 2006.
