Forced to retire through injury, he set up his racing components firm, which has been based in Indianapolis for some time. It supplies NASCAR and IRL manufacturers and also builds exhausts for speedway bikes. The business continues despite Frank's recent death, which came after sadly suffering from cancer, dementia and the after-effects of a stroke in recent years. Frank was a semi-regular CART or Indycar racer from 1975 until 1980, with his best result being seventh at Milwaukee in 1979. He never qualified for Indianapolis, suffering a crash in 1980 in practice.
