Is NASCAR up for sale?

Reports that NASCAR maybe up for sale are gaining speed. It was reported this week that investment firm Goldman Sachs has been recruited to identify possible buyers . The news came as a shock to former driver Bobby Labonte, who said it would be business as usual for NASCAR drivers. One driver, former Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick, said a sale could provide a platform for change and new opportunities for race teams. Bringing a new owner in may draw that line clearer to say now there’s separation between NASCAR and racetracks, and I think it might be a possibility to open the schedule up and go to some new places.
