Scott Warfield, a reporter for the Sports Business Journal based in Charlotte, is leaving the only sports business newspaper to go work for NASCAR. Warfield had covered auto racing and professional soccer for the paper, which is owned by American City Business Journals.
Warfield will manage public relations for NASCAR Licensing, Aftermarket and Community Affairs, based in Charlotte, N.C., it was announced Monday.
“Scott’s talent for telling compelling stories and his hunger for identifying and breaking news will advance our efforts to add value to our more than 200 consumer product licensees, our growing family of aftermarket partners and The NASCAR Foundation,” said NASCAR Vice President of Licensing and Consumer Products Mark Dyer in a news release.
