The new agreement takes the relationship through 2016, with NASCAR managing business and editorial operations for its digital platforms beginning in 2013 and Turner Sports continuing to oversee advertising sales and sponsorships across NASCAR-branded digital platforms. “Turner Sports has been, and will continue to be, a great partner for NASCAR,” said Brian France, chairman and CEO of NASCAR. “Taking a leadership role as it relates to our digital rights is something we as the sanctioning body know is important for the future of our sport, the development of our drivers and most importantly, the experience for both our current fans and future followers.” NASCAR’s digital and social media portfolio includes NASCAR.com, the official online destination of NASCAR which provides fans with fantasy games, video highlights, social elements and in-depth editorial content
