Sonic Names New President, COO - Sonic Corp., the nation's largest chain of drive-in restaurants, named a new president and chief operating officer which will allow its CEO to focus on system expansion and brand development strategies, the company said on Friday.

Chairman and Chief Executive Clifford Hudson, 53 years old, will transfer his president's title to Scott McLain, currently president of Sonic's franchising unit.

Mr. McLain, 45, will be responsible for marketing, information technology, purchasing, development, franchise human resources and corporate communications.
