Timeline

1962

Brian Zachary France (born August 2, 1962) is an American businessman and the former CEO and chairman of NASCAR.

1990

In the 1990s, he ran NASCAR's Los Angeles office and helped create associations between NASCAR and the entertainment industry.

As a result, films began advertising at NASCAR events, and NASCAR drivers began to feature in various forms of media.

1995

In 1995, Brian France helped to create the Craftsman Truck Series.

2000

In 2000, he became NASCAR's executive vice president.

During France's tenure as CEO, NASCAR's TV ratings peaked in the mid-2000s, but by 2014, they had dropped, accompanied by a 15% decrease in track attendance.

2003

He served in the post from 2003 to 2018, following his grandfather (and NASCAR co-founder) Bill France Sr.. and father Bill Jr., in the executive position.

France became NASCAR's CEO and chairman of the board in 2003, after his father retired from the position.

One of France's first actions as CEO was to create a new safety rule that barred drivers from racing back to the start/finish line when under caution.

After assuming control of NASCAR, France negotiated a title sponsorship from Sprint Nextel and introduced the Chase for the Sprint Cup over the transition period, receiving a $4.5 billion television contract for the initial ten race seasons, in addition to a later multibillion-dollar deal with NBC.

France also made an effort to expand the audience base of NASCAR to minorities, and allowed Toyota vehicles to begin competing on the NASCAR circuit.

2005

Sporting News named France one of the five most powerful sports executives in 2005, and, in 2006, Time magazine named him one of the "100 Most Influential of the Century."

2010

Many fans, especially those of a somewhat older age who had gotten used to Bill France Jr..'s style of management, were not in favor of these rule changes; this caused NASCAR's ratings to drop significantly throughout the early to mid-2010s.

2016

During the 2016 presidential campaign, NASCAR pulled its Xfinity Series and Camping World Truck Series award ceremonies from a Trump resort near Miami.

Later, on February 29, 2016, France and several NASCAR drivers appeared at a rally to endorse Donald Trump's candidacy.

2017

Some of the rules implemented included mandation of the HANS device for all drivers, installation of SAFER barriers around the outside walls of each track (eventually, the inside walls of each track as well), as well as the 'yellow line rule' at superspeedways (which states that no driver may advance their position if they noticeably place at least their left side tires below the inside yellow line surrounding the track), and the 'overtime line' rule, which was a designated area of the track where if a caution were to be thrown at any time within the closing two laps and the leader had passed through the area, but had not yet crossed the official start/finish line, the race would end and a winner would be declared (this was removed after the 2017 NASCAR season).

2018

In August 2018, France took an "indefinite leave of absence" from his role as CEO and chairman of NASCAR.

On August 5, France was pulled over in Sag Harbor, New York, for driving through a stop sign and subsequently arrested for DUI and possession of oxycodone.

2019

In 2019, France founded Silver Falcon Capital, Inc. and became CEO of the private investing firm.

France was exposed to the business of stock car racing from a young age.

His first job in racing was as a janitor at the Talladega Superspeedway.

France studied at the University of Central Florida but joined NASCAR before earning a degree.

France managed several short tracks, including Tucson Raceway Park in Arizona in the earlier years of his career.

France later pleaded guilty to one count misdemeanor DUI on June 7, 2019.

His leave of absence officially ended in February 2019 when interim head of NASCAR, Jim France, permanently took over as CEO and chairman.

In 2019, France founded and became CEO of Silver Falcon Capital, Inc., a private investment firm based in Charlotte, North Carolina.

France founded Brand Sense Partners, a Los Angeles-based licensing company.

He and his wife are the founders of the Amy and Brian France Foundation, and the Luke and Meadow Foundation, a philanthropic cause that focuses on children.

Brian France implemented a wide variety of policies and mandates that tended to focus heavily on driver safety (largely in response to the death of Dale Earnhardt) and equal opportunity for virtually all drivers to contend.

2020

In March 2020 Brian France sued John L. Steele, an internet user behind the parody Twitter account "Drunken Brian France" (@DrunkBrianF), for "infliction of emotional distress" and invasion of privacy.

In April 2020 the lawsuit was withdrawn after Steele agreed to delete the account.

The lawsuit has been cited as an example of an SLAPP lawsuit.
