    NASCAR CEO arrested for DUI, drug possession

    NASCAR CEO and Chairman Brian France was arrested for aggravated driving while intoxicated and criminal possession of a controlled substance, according to a Sag Harbor Village (New York) Police Department news release.

    According to a news release, France was arrested at 7:30 p.m. Sunday night, held overnight and arraigned Monday morning at the Sag Harbor Village Justice Court, where he was released on his own recognizance.

    "Mr. France was observed operating a 2017 Lexus northbound on Main Street failing to stop at a duly posted stop sign," the news release said. "Upon traffic stop, it was determined that Mr. France was operating said vehicle in an intoxicated condition.

    "Upon search of his person, due to a lawful arrest, Mr. France was in possession of oxycodone pills."

    No other information was immediately available. TMZ first reported the arrest of France in the Hamptons.

    Brian France stated that he wanted a larger income and was simply driving home
    from male-nursing classes.

    While he's on leave the Uncle is taking over.

    I didn't realize what a family affair the Nascar organization was in terms of owner and operations.
