NASCAR’s former chairman and CEO Brian France pleaded guilty to DWI on Friday. The plea was part of a diversion deal with prosecutors stemming from an arrest in last Summer.

According to a statement from the Suffolk County (N.Y.) District Attourney, France will have his misdemeanor charge from that arrest reduced to a non-criminal infraction in June 2020 so long as he completes 100 hours of community service, continues counseling and does not run afoul of the law.

In a statement, France said, “I am grateful for the court’s consideration of all the facts in this case and I will follow their direction and recommendations as we move forward.

“While I made a mistake, this event has also given me the opportunity to reflect on my poor judgment that day, my family and my greater responsibilities to our community. I have learned valuable lessons and will be a better person because of this process.”

Tim Richmond was one of the most talented and fierce drivers on the track in his short time in NASCAR. Now, Richmond’s iconic Folger’s paint scheme will be honored and remembered this year during throwback weekend at Darlington Raceway. Axalta made the announcement that Alex Bowman will drive a red and gold No. 88 via a video on their social media channels on Friday.
