NASCAR Chairman Brian France, who earlier this month said there would be a “robust discussion” about changes to the 2015 Sprint Cup schedule, said Monday that any changes would be minimal. Speaking on SiriusXM’s NASCAR channel, France said the schedule will come out in September.
“There’s not going to be a dramatic change but there may be some things that are a little different,” France said. “That’s not unusual. You come back to moving dates around and whatever else, we don’t do a lot of it, but we do a little of it from time to time and this will be one of those moments.”
At Daytona a few weeks ago, France said that with the new NASCAR television deal going into effect in 2015 – Fox and Fox Sports 1 will have the first 16 points races with NBC and NBC Sports Network having the final 20 – there is an opportunity to consider possible changes.
