NASCAR CEO Brian France was among the professional sports commissioners who met with the Associated Press Sports Editors at meetings in New York Thursday.

Asked about the status of NASCAR finding a replacement for Sprint at the Cup Series title sponsor, France stated "We're ahead of schedule, where normally these things take longer to do."

France expects a decision soon "
