About Me

James France inherited an estimated 36% of Nascar, the stock-car racing business founded in 1948 by his father, William France Sr. He has sat on Nascar's board of directors since 2000. Viewership is down, but the business remains afloat due to 7-year TV deals with Fox, NBC, Amazon Prime Video, and TNT, worth $7.7 billion in rights, that began in 2025. France also serves as chairman of Nascar's sister company, International Speedway Corp, which operates 13 racetracks. After Sprint's contracted ended in December 2016, Nascar signed a $20 million per year deal with Monster Energy that commenced in 2017.
