Series leaders say NASCAR is enjoying success despite economic concerns.
“I stood in front of you and talked about our best days being in front of us. I know that seemed kind of foolish and maybe some of you were snickering, like, ‘I’m not sure that’s going to happen.’ But where we sit here today, I think that’s exactly what’s happened.”
But early in the fall, when communication lagged between the DAC and drivers at large, NASCAR began scheduling weekly meetings. “Communication between us and drivers over this past five or six weeks has shifted the narrative on how they are feeling about safety or raceability,” O’Donnell said. “You can tell there’s a difference in the conversations we’re having. Until the drivers feel we’re over-communicating, we’re going to continue to have those meetings.
“And it’s not just the car. The dialogue we’ve had with the teams involves how are you fitting in your seat, helmets, foam head surround. All those things are part of this dialogue, which is really, really good. We’re seeing some improvements on a daily basis as we look towards 2023.”
