CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR’s stars have formed an official Drivers Advisory Council to create a collective voice for discussions with NASCAR. The drivers loosely formed a council in 2014, and while it did grow and created positive influence, it eventually disbanded. The council announced Friday has a formal and organized system and a promise from NASCAR that it will work with the drivers. Jeff Burton is the adviser of the council, which will be led by a seven-person board of directors. The first board is comprised of Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Kurt Busch, Austin Dillon, Corey LaJoie, Daniel Suarez and retired driver Kyle Petty.
