In this milestone episode of the Off-Field Players Podcast, we close out 2023 with an informational interview with the President of NASCAR, Steve Phelps. NASCAR celebrated their 75th Anniversary season this year where race fans experienced monumental moments that has taken the sport to another level both on and off the track. The vision and intelligence of Steve Phelps has enhanced the sport of NASCAR to new horizons from sending a car to race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, going back to NASCAR's beginnings with the All-Star Race at the famous North Wilkesboro Speedway, and having the first ever NASCAR street circuit race on the streets of Chicago.

Phelps' journey to becoming the President of the highest form of motorsports in North America began with his upbringing in the state of Vermont with a passion to combine his love of sports with his knowledge of business. This would lead to an opportunity to work in the NFL before transitioning to NASCAR. In having a determined, innovative, and hardworking spirit, Steve Phelps embodies the persona of being a role model in the sports industry as an off-field player and continues to help the next generation see that there are opportunities for success when done the right way. This was a milestone interview for me as the host of the Off-Field Players Podcast as me and Steve Phelps reflect on the 75th season of NASCAR and share what the future holds for the sport going forward.
