Brooklyn, Mich. • Jim France seems to be choosing to stay in the shadows, declining to let the public hear from him as the interim chairman and CEO of NASCAR.
France is not expected to be available for interviews as NASCR prepares to run its first race, at Michigan International Speedway, since chairman Brian France took an indefinite leave from the company his family owns.
Brian France was arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated and criminal possession of oxycodone Sunday night in New York’s Hamptons. His uncle, Jim, was picked the next day to take over on an interim basis.
