NASCAR CEO and Chairman Brian France was reportedly arrested for driving under the influence Sunday evening, and was also allegedly in possession of oxycodone, according to a Monday report from TMZ. France was reportedly pulled over after speeding through a stop sign in an exclusive Hamptons community around 7:30 p.m. TMZ adds that France’s blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit, and that he spent the night in jail “name-dropping” his high-profile connections, including President Donald Trump. France and his family, TMZ adds, are “racing royalty”: France’s grandfather, Bill France, founded NASCAR in 1948, and Brian France has been CEO since 2003. France has not yet commented on TMZ’s report.
