Jim
Foster's remarkable career began with service in the United States
Navy and tours of duty at Okinawa and Nagasaki. After serving his
country, Jim had successful careers in journalism, marketing and public
relations. But Jim couldn't have imagined what lay before him when,
in 1967, Big Bill France asked Jim to come down to Daytona Beach and
help him run NASCAR. Jim's career with NASCAR, International Speedway
Corporation and Daytona International Speedway spanned almost 30 years
and saw what started as a small, regional sport explode into a truly
global entertainment conglomerate. Jim Foster's name is synonymous
with NASCAR, International Speedway Corporation, and Stock Car Racing.
