NASCAR isn’t a fan of this proposal recently CEO Jim France has confirmed that as there are no guarantees about the media rights for the future, they won’t make charters permanent.
Now NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr., who is looking forward becoming a Cup team owner, that though France has a point, teams would always look into owning permanent charters over temporary deals. He also asserted that if he becomes an owner, he will want his charters to be permanent.
I see Jim’s point, and I hope that the teams can move forward and agree, but I also think that there’ll be other opportunities down the road to bring that argument back up. The teams are always going to want to make the charters permanent. If I owned the charter, I would certainly be telling you right now that I want my charter to be permanent.Dale Earnhardt Jr. said via Dale Jr. Download.
