Continues consistent communications between sanctioning body, stakeholders
DOVER, Del. -- NASCAR officials and several Sprint Cup Series drivers were scheduled to meet Saturday evening at the Dover International Speedway on the eve of Sunday's FedEx 400 Benefitting Autism Speaks.
Kristi King, NASCAR's Senior Director of Communications, Competition, said the meeting had been previously scheduled and that the sanctioning body meets with small groups of drivers periodically throughout the season.
"It's NASCAR's job to always meet with its car owners, drivers and crew chiefs,'' King said. "So this meeting is nothing out of the ordinary, nothing that we haven't been doing.
"I think a bigger story would be if we didn't talk to our drivers. It's really not a big deal, something we consistently do, just a lot of times it's not done at the race track. This time it is."
