  • I think I'll have my own town hall meeting

    You know folks, after each week's race there seem to be things that we at home see that still go unnoticed by those at the track. If you watch TV, listen to the radio or read the newspapers and blogs, there clearly is a lot of disagreement with the direction the sport is going.

    There's concern about this new car and how it runs. There's concern about how it doesn't look like race cars we are accustomed to seeing. There are folks questioning NASCAR, especially recently about their calls on cautions. Was there debris or wasn't there debris? There just seems to be a lot of issues these days.

    NASCAR has had a couple of these town hall meetings as they call them. Have you been invited to one? Well I haven't either. So that's why I was thinking I would have my own town hall meeting and I can promise you it would be a little bit different. My meeting would include a cross section of NASCAR fans. Trust me, they will be non-denominational fans. They all won't be Dale Jr., Kasay Kahne, Tony Stewart fans, etc.

    The other group that I am going to invite is a contingent of TV and radio broadcasters. They see and cover the sport differently than others. I am also going to call in some sponsors because obviously they are the ones footing the bill for this sport and they have a vested interest in what the fans care about. Additionally, I would call in some PR people because they are the middlemen between the owners, drivers and sponsors. I think it is important that their voice is heard too.

    Motor Racing Outreach

    I was elected chairman of the board of Motor Racing Outreach, and that's something I'm very proud of. I was one of the founding fathers of MRO in 1987, and I've served in a lot of capacities, but I've never been the chairman of the board so I'm excited.
