NASCAR, manufacturers schedule meeting
Saturday, Apr. 30, 2011
NASCAR officials and representatives of the four participating manufacturers plan to meet next week in Detroit.
It's all informal, of course. NASCAR President Mike Helton likened the meeting with representatives from Dodge, Ford, General Motors and Toyota to the many town hall sessions with teams and drivers over the last few years.
"The idea was for us to be better communicators with the stakeholders — the broadcast partners, the tracks, the teams, the drivers," Helton said.
"Obviously, the manufacturers are stakeholders and now we're kind of catching up to tell them the same information we're telling all the other stakeholders."
