INDIANAPOLIS -- Tony George has stepped down as president and CEO of the Indy Racing League, Indianapolis Motor Speedway and his family's business.

"He [George] chose not to continue as CEO of the IRL," executive vice-president of communications for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Fred Nation told ESPN.com's John Oreovicz. "He is no longer active in the management of any of the companies. He is on the board of directors of all the companies, along with the other members of his family. And of course the board is the ultimate decision maker."
