NASCAR Invites Top Execs To Inaugural Summit On State Of Industry

NASCAR today is holding an inaugural summit for top leaders across the sport’s various stakeholder groups to discuss the state of the industry. NASCAR Chair & CEO Brian France publicly revealed its existence in a press conference earlier this month, but not much has come out about the closed-door event since then. However, NASCAR COO Brent Dewar in a statement to THE DAILY said, “It will be comprised of a mix of guest speakers and panels designed to foster additional collaboration and help continue to drive the sport forward.” Sources said attendance is being kept to more high-level execs in the sport.

Also today, NASCAR is also holding its quarterly Fuel for Business council meeting in Charlotte ahead of this weekend’s Monster Energy NASCAR All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Monster Energy VP/Sports Marketing Mitch Covington will speak at the event.
