I don't think Brian France is helping NASCAR. I've seen this before with businesses that are handed down to succeeding generations. To the founders, the business is one of their children, usually given priorities normally reserved for the first born. When it is handed down to a child, the second generation may carry on with it, but will begin making changes, some good, some not so good. When it is handed down to the third generation, they have no grasp of what it took to establish the business, the struggles, the mistakes made, so they change a lot of things and often destroy the business.
