Meet Your Favorite #NASCAR Drivers!

Nashville Driver Appearance Schedule

In 2025, the sanctioning body is doing something about it with its new Driver Ambassador Program, which provides compensation to drivers for making appearances. There are several million dollars up for grabs.

 

The system is set up so the drivers earn one point for every 15 minutes of their time doing something considered “promotion.” This includes media interviews or track appearances outside of the mandatory sessions on race weekends.

Ryan Blaney earned points when he visited Austin, TX with his new wife, Gianna, to promote the upcoming race at Circuit of the Americas. During an interview with Athlon Sports, the Team Penske driver offered his perspective of the program and why it makes dollars and sense.

 

”Yeah, essentially what that deal is — I guess for example as before, ‘Hey, can you do this favor for us and go promote this race and things like that,” Blaney said. “Or, go do these radio shows and that. And sometimes it wouldn't work into our schedule. Or, maybe you're like, ‘No, I don't really want to do that.”

 

“The best way I could put it is if your boss came to you and said, ‘Hey, can you work overtime? We're not going to pay you for overtime though, but go do it out of good faith.’ You'd have kind of some reservations about it”

 

“But if your boss is like, ‘Hey, we're going to give you overtime, go work overtime. Well, yeah, I'll take it, right? So I think that's the best way I've tried to kind of compare the two. But I think it's good.”

 

NASCAR drivers are already some of, if not the most accessible athletes in all of sports! This new program will only increase that accessibility and, like Blaney said, make the sport healthier because of it.
