NASCAR considering multiyear track contracts (Update)
01/21/15 After a longtime policy of one-year engagements, NASCAR is poised to enter long-term relationships with its racetracks.
There have been multiple meetings after the 2014 season to discuss the concept of multiyear sanctioning agreements that effectively would set much of the Sprint Cup schedule beyond the current season for the first time.
NASCAR traditionally has signed annual deals with every track, pushing the yearly release of the schedule to late summer or early fall.
A multiyear deal would offer tracks the ability to sell season ticket packages and sponsorships with more flexibility and security.
It also would allow a better savings opportunity for fans who travel long distances for races and sometimes face intractable situations in adapting to major changes. USA Today
