Submissions are now open for the Official NASCAR Fan Council, as announced by NASCAR officials. The NASCAR Fan Council, formed in 2008, allows NASCAR’s biggest fans to communicate directly with the organization.

The Fan Council gets the chance to give feedback on the following topics:
• Race feedback (results, broadcast, track experience)
• Rule updates, schedule changes
• New, current or potential sponsors
• Favorite drivers, tracks
• Race advertisements before they air

“We have 25,000 people who are part of the NASCAR Fan Council. They are a representation of our most avid fans and we talk to them on an every week basis,” NASCAR President Steve Phelps said on a 2019 episode of the “Dale Jr. Download” podcast. “We’ve had a fan council for 10 years, it has grown and it’s still one of the most important things that we do… Listening to the fans is incredibly important to us because they have their finger on the pulse.”

The Official NASCAR Fan Council is the only place that NASCAR fans can speak directly to the sport and have their opinions count. The Official NASCAR Fan Council is run by the NASCAR Fan Insights team.

The Fan Council is free to join, and members can remain on the Council as long as they like, as long as they actively participate by providing feedback when requested. While not every member receives every survey, members can expect to receive at least two surveys per month.

Any new members should be at least 18 years of age, a U.S. resident and be passionate about NASCAR.
