ORMHOF Welcomes Shelley Krehbiel as Executive Director

The Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame is pleased to announce Shelley Krehbiel as its new Executive Director. Under the direction of the Board of Directors, Krehbiel will be responsible for overseeing operations, finance, and compliance, leading strategic direction, and spearheading partnerships with members, corporate partners, and donors.

Based in Northern California, Krehbiel has decades of proven success. She launched her career as an accountant, rising to an executive position with Title Financial Group and leading it through a period of unprecedented growth. Retiring early to try her hand at something new, Krehbiel joined her husband on the road promoting competitive events and spent the last decade building off-road businesses. “Off-road led me to the greatest people,” Krehbiel shared.

“On behalf of the Executive Board of Directors, we are thrilled to welcome Shelley to ORMHOF,” Mark McMillin, Chairman of the Board, said, “Her experience in building relationships and businesses makes her the ideal person to continue to build upon the momentum of the last decade. Shelley is mission-driven, and we look forward to her success in advancing our mission.”

About the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame

The Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame (ORMHOF) was established in 1978 by racing promoter and NORRA founder Ed Pearlman to recognize and honor those individuals and organizations whose lifelong contributions to off-road motorsports have set a standard for others to follow. In 1995, legendary racer Rod Hall became chairman, a position he held for more than 20 years before selecting current chairman Mark McMillin as his successor.

Our mission is to educate and inspire present and future generations of the off-road community by celebrating the achievements of those who came before. Inductees represent excellence and achievement across numerous genres, including advocacy, journalism, industry, and competition on both two and four wheels.

We also maintain a collection of vintage vehicles that are displayed at museums around the country, as well as an extensive online archive of images, audio recordings, and videos. The Hall of Fame Off-Road Registry invites clubs, organizations, events, businesses, and individuals with 50 years or more of history to apply for Hall of Fame heritage status.

The Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is funded through donations, individual memberships, and industry partners and has earned a GuideStar Non-Profit Gold Seal of Transparency for 2025.

ORMHOF is guided by an all-volunteer board of leaders from the off-road community, including chairman Mark McMillin and board members Frank ‘Butch’ Arciero Jr., Jim Bramham, Chris Collard, Frank DeAngelo, Bud Feldkamp, Jeff Furrier, Josh Hall, Bob Ham, Gary Haugley, Nate Hunt, Rich Klein, Emily Miller, Rafael Navarro III, Fardad Niknam, Bonnie Vessels, and Rory Ward.
