TNT Sports’s new seven-year multimedia deal with NASCAR, reached in November, capped off a slam-dunk year for the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned division’s chairman and CEO, Luis Silberwasser.
The NASCAR agreement added the popular stock-car racing circuit to an already impressive portfolio of domestic pro and college sports-media rights under Silberwasser’s tutelage that include the NHL, NBA, the NCAA March Madness men’s college basketball tournament and the United States Soccer Federation airing across several WBD-owned cable channels including TNT, TBS and truTV.
