NASCAR already has begun searching for a replacement. It announced Thursday it plans to hire multiple high-level sales execs. Van Zelst already has a job lined up but declined to name it, saying that he was still negotiating terms with his next employer.

Over seven years at NASCAR, he played a role in delivering more than $100M worth of deals. He was involved in signing Aflac, Prilosec, COPD and others to NASCAR official sponsorships.
