Ed Rensi is a prime example of achieving the American dream. He began his career by flipping hamburgers and washing dishes at McDonald’s at the age of 20. With determination and a burning desire to succeed, Ed worked his way up the corporate ladder and in 1984 became the President and Chief Executive Officer of McDonald’s USA. After a 14-year stint as President and CEO, Ed retired to pursue one of his greatest passions, auto racing. From that very first auto race until today, Rensi has been instrumental in the development of Team Rensi Motorsports. Rensi has always been a huge supporter of NASCAR and makes many appearances throughout the year to promote the sport. He is currently the President of Team Rensi Motorsports which had its best finish in its four years of racing, coming in fourth in the NASCAR Busch Series in 2004. He is also a director of the International Speedway Corporation and Snap-On Tools and Jafra Cosmetics International, Inc.

Ed Rensi and his wife, Anne reside in Downer’s Grove, IL and are the proud parents of one daughter, Marcy. Ed and Anne are also the grandparents of four lovely children.

Ed has set a personal goal of thanking every person serving our country in the military and especially wants to celebrate the fine Men and Women in the UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS. “They are THE FEW, THE PROUD and I am humbled to be associated with them.”

Mr. Rensi has been a NIAF Council member since 1991
