Three from NASCAR make list of influential people

Monday, December 19, 2005

Street & Smith's SportsBusiness Journal's Dec. 19 issue features the 50 Most Influential People in Sports Business, and three men from NASCAR are ranked.

NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France is ranked seventh on the 2005 list, up three spots from 10th in 2004. The publication cites France's successful and continuing expansion of the sport.

Also to make the list are newcomers George Pyne, NASCAR's chief operating officer, and Jim France, CEO of International Speedway Corp.

The publication ranked Pyne 47th, saying he deserves much of the credit for NASCAR's maturation.

Jim France was ranked 50th, and the publication says his impact on the sport is "immeasurable and underrated."
