ChuckLicata Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 From Jayski: NASCAR Family on 60 Minutes this Sunday: The phrase "NASCAR Family" usually refers to the millions of fans obsessed with the fastest-growing sport in America. But the real NASCAR family is the France family of Daytona Beach, Florida. For six decades, they have literally owned the sport, and made themselves into billionaires in the process; NASCAR today is one of the biggest businesses in the country still owned and run by the family that founded it. Third-generation France siblings Brian and Lesa are now in running the show, and they recently spoke with Lesley Stahl about the company's next "big goal": moving more NASCAR race to America's biggest cities and attracting more minority fans by moving away from the sport's southern "good ole boy" image. For more on NASCAR'S past, present and future, watch 60 Minutes on Sunday, October 9, 7:00pm et/pt on CBS.(CBS)(10-7-2005) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
