NASCAR

CHANGE FROM 2014: -3

It was a busy year for NASCAR. The sport’s new elimination-style Chase for the Sprint Cup continued to garner attention, as did new TV deals with Fox and NBC. NASCAR also made gains in social media and developed a new trackside retail model. Now France must find a replacement for departing title sponsor Sprint, and finalize the coming “charter” system designed to give team owners equity in the sport.
