ORIGINAL POST 2-10-2020: NASCAR teams are nearing an agreement with the sanctioning body to extend the sport’s charter system, according to sources, and an announcement of the renewed accord appears to be imminent. The initial five-year term of the charter agreement, running from ’16-20, had the option for a four-year renewal period that would cover ’21-24.
Sports Business Journal last August reported that NASCAR had to inform teams of the terms of the renewed agreement by Sept. 1, and that teams had to inform NASCAR of whether they would accept the terms between January and March of this year.
