This is what will happen if NASCAR gets sold (it'll follow what happens to every company the gets bought).
1. Sale announced and upper management will be grinning so much you'd think that it was photo shopped.
2. Actual sale will go through 3-6 months later.
3. During that 3-6 months, all upper and middle management will be offered a retention bonus. This will literally make their yearly pay double than what it is now. The key is, it gets payed out in installments for 1-2 years after the official purchase goes through. Quit early, the bonuses stop. It gets bigger when you get closer to that 1-2 years. They stay on board because it makes no sense to walk away from that money.
4. New Captain will run the NASCAR ship and he is announced. This all comes with glowing reports from all current NASCAR employees in every division.
5. Changes happen within the company but nobody on the outside will know or even care.
6. Then we start to see changes because the new captain brings in lots of his guys and they question many things. For example, Do we really need to be owning all of these racetracks? Can't we sell that division to someone else (i.e. investment firm)? or Do we really need to be doing sportscar racing? Can we sell it too? Don't be surprised to see divisions of NASCAR being put up for sale or spun off into their own wholly owned subsidiary in hopes someone buys it then.
7. After year one is done, you'll see some management and officials go work elsewhere. Same for the end of year two. We won't care unless it's PWC because then we can theorize about it all day long.
8. Something will get sold off. If it does, then we can theorize about it too. It's obvious that only Road Atlanta matters and the Petit race. If ISC gets sold, then we can have this same conversation again in 2 years. Hopefully someone old enough is left at ISC to remember when they attempted to buy racetracks, shut them down and sell them to developers for them to be bulldozed for homes along with various retail stores built in it's place. As we all know, that didn't work out too well.
9. Aliens come in and make the human race their slaves. We then just work for them and talk about how much fun racing was.
