According to a report by FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, multiple people are expected to collaborate to fill Fabian’s position in his absence.
A statement from NASCAR says, “NASCAR takes the situation seriously and will continue to gather information as it becomes available. Jay Fabian will step back from his role until the matter is resolved.”
