"We’re confident the changes we have made to our internal structure and the incredible talent we’ve added in these key strategic areas will best position Nascar to drive industry growth now and in the future.”
Steve Herbst, who most recently was evp and general manager of CBS College Sports Network (now known as CBS Sports Network), will be responsible for all aspects of the Nascar's broadcast division, including management of the day-to-day relationship with broadcast partners Fox, Speed, ESPN/ABC and Turner.
