He succeeded the founder of NASCAR, his dad Bill France, Sr., as its head. His son Brian France has been NASCAR CEO since 2003. After serving as vice president for six years, he became the head of NASCAR when his dad Bill France, Sr. retired on January 10, 1972.

He continued his dad’s heritage by nurturing increase of the Daytona 500 stock car race and Daytona 200 motorcycle race at Daytona International Speedway.

Allison’s brother Bobby Allison halted, and Bobby Allison and Yarborough subsequently changed punches. France’s career culminated in a record-setting $2.4 billion television airing contract in 1999 for the 2001 season.
