Steve Phelps, NASCAR’s president, has joined the growing list of featured speakers during the 4th annual Race Industry Week, Nov. 27 to Dec. 1. The following year, Phelps guided NASCAR through an unprecedented and challenging season as the industry paved the way for live sports to return in America. All the while, NASCAR stabilized TV ratings at a time when nearly all sports were significantly down. During his time at NASCAR, Phelps has won Adweek’s prestigious Sports Marketing Executive of the Year and was named its Brand Genius Award winner in the “sports” category. In recognition of his leadership elevating the sport through the challenges of 2020, Phelps was named a finalist for Sports Business Journal’s Executive of the Year, with NASCAR likewise named a League of the Year finalist.
