On Tuesday, August 4, we're excited to welcome Steve Newmark, Director of Athletics for the University of North Carolina. The Chapel Hill native and respected NASCAR executive has vast experience in leadership, sponsorships, marketing, team operations and contract negotiations. Before coming to Carolina, Newmark spent 15 years as President of Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing, one of NASCAR's marquee organizations. Newmark also was among the founders, in 2014, of the Race Team Alliance - a collective representing all full-time NASCAR teams, approximately 3,000 employees and more than $800 million in annual revenues.

Prior to motorsports, Newmark spent 12 years as an attorney at Robinson Bradshaw & Hinson in Charlotte, where he specialized in sports and entertainment law, mergers and acquisitions and private equity. He clerked for Judge W. Earl Britt of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina and for Judge Dickson Phillips on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit before entering private practice. Newmark holds a JD from the University of Virginia School of Law.

You'll also get news updates from Gene Galin of the Chatham Journal, and industry insights from some amazing sponsors including:
