PITTSBURGH, PA—The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Association announced that Ross Miller has joined the organization as the new Executive Vice President of Partnerships and Marketing.

The PVGP hosts the longest-running vintage street race in America each July in Schenley Park. The 10-day motorsports festival begins with the PVGP Historics held at Pittsburgh International Race Complex near Beaver Falls, followed by weeklong events throughout the city and region.

Ross comes to the PVGP from the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he spent the previous 24 years and was most recently Senior Vice President of Partnership Marketing and Operations.

PVGP board chairman James Dolan said, “Ross brings tremendous new talent to the PVGP. Our strategic plan to grow the PVGP’s national presence identified opportunities for us in partnership, sponsorship and marketing. Ross brings a new level of professional sports experience to the PVGP. As we highlight Pittsburgh and this unique event, Ross will lead our marketing and media efforts and add significant new partnerships.”

Ross commented, “After spending over 20 years in sports and entertainment, I am excited to embark on this new role and help the PVGP accomplish its strategic plan. Having these events be an organic part of Pittsburgh’s fabric each summer while supporting our charitable partners couldn’t be more rewarding.”

Proceeds from PVGP events benefit Autism Pittsburgh and Merakey Allegheny Valley School.

Executive Director Dan DelBianco said, “Working with the board of directors, we have outlined a strategic plan for the next ten years. The goals are to expand the charitable grants the PVGP can make to help those afflicted with autism and to promote Pittsburgh as the vibrant city it is. No other motorsport event in the country has the unique combination we offer:  Schenley Park, impressive museums and universities adjacent to the park events, and the 1,200 dedicated volunteers who make our events happen. As the sole employee of the PVGP for the past 21 years, I am excited to have someone with Ross’s experience and talent join our organization.”

The PVGP’s 10-day motorsports festival kicks off on July 11, 2025, at Pittsburgh International Raceway and culminates with the feature races on July 19-20 in Schenley Park. Schedule
