Steve Phelps to Step Away from NASCAR

Steve Phelps to Step Away from NASCAR


No Successor to be Named, No Additional Leadership Changes Announced

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Jan. 6, 2026) – NASCAR today announced that Steve Phelps has made the personal decision to step away from the company and his role as Commissioner of America's top motorsport. Phelps, who joined NASCAR in 2005, will transition out of the company by the end of the month leaving a legacy of leadership and a strategic vision that delivered significant growth and lasting innovation, championed equity and social justice initiatives, and created industry-wide opportunities for all stakeholders.

 

"As a lifelong race fan, it gives me immense pride to have served as NASCAR's first Commissioner and to lead our great sport through so many incredible challenges, opportunities and firsts over my 20 years," said Steve Phelps. "Our sport is built on the passion of our fans, the dedication of our teams and partners, and the commitment of our wonderful employees. It has been an honor to help synthesize the enthusiasm of long-standing NASCAR stakeholders with that of new entrants to our ecosystem, such as media partners, auto manufacturers, track operators, and incredible racing talent. As I embark on new pursuits in sports and other industries, I want to thank the many colleagues, friends, and especially the fans that have played such an important and motivational role in my career. Words cannot fully convey the deep appreciation I have for this life-changing experience, for the trust of the France family, and for having a place in NASCAR's amazing history."

 

Under Phelps's leadership, the sport has transformed its annual schedule with extraordinary new events and 'bucket list' fan experiences, reshaped its strategic vision, expanded its international footprint, secured long-term media rights and charter agreements, and assembled a world-class leadership team focused on building the future of stock car racing with fan experience at its core. Among his most important priorities has been welcoming all fans into NASCAR. His other achievements include the integration of NASCAR's landmark merger with ISC, launching the record-setting Next Gen race car in 2022 – only the 7th new vehicle in the sport's history, and many other accomplishments that position the sport for continued success.
