Team Red Bull GM Frye mulling move to Stewart Haas
By Marty Smith / ESPN.com
Longtime Sprint Cup Series team executive Jay Frye has been offered a contract by Stewart Haas Racing, and is mulling a departure from Team Red Bull before season's end to accept a management position at SHR, ESPN.com has learned.
Sources close to Stewart Haas confirmed Monday that Frye is the man they've targeted to run the organization's day-to-day operations. He is expected to accept, sources said, and would be titled vice president/general manager.
"He is a huge hire for Stewart Haas," one source close to SHR said on condition of anonymity. The source is not at liberty to discuss organizational matters.
Frye was unavailable for comment Monday, as he was flying to Austria to meet with Red Bull executives regarding the team's performance, his future, and the futures of drivers AJ Allmendinger and Scott Speed.
By moving to SHR, Frye would add yet another key Hendrick Motorsports wrinkle to Stewart Haas, a trend that began last month with the hiring of HMS engineer Darien Grubb.
Grubb will be announced as crew chief for team owner/driver Tony Stewart this weekend in Richmond, Va.

Re: Team Red Bull GM Frye mulling move to Stewart Haas
wow and wow. red bull was really struggling until frye came over and straightened it up. i'm glad to hear he may be headed to shr but i'm concerned about what red bull will do next?
ya' know, if stewart keeps this up at this pace -- signing newman, possibly getting darian grubb AND jay frye plus being solid for sponsors -- i think they just might have a chnace at more than a few wins next year.
but i really hate that neither stewart nor newman will be in the "whatever it's called now" bud shootout next year! that's just so wrong (and, i concede, off topic but that's never stood in the way around here, has it?!?)
morning, all. --red
