NASCAR Racing: NASCAR..., acknowledgement section, writing a book

Question
Hi, I am currently in the process of writing a book, and one of my characters has just resigned from the business and I know you have to have some kind of press confrence, but is there anything specific that has to be said in that? I will gladly put you in the acknowledgement section of my book with whatever information you are able to give to me. Thank you.

Answer
There is no outline or regulations on what must be said when a driver resigns, but typically they will explain thier reasoning for it. They will usually reflect back on thier career, thanking who they've worked for and with. Generally media asks a ton of questions that they will answer. Resigning from the sport entirely doesn't happen often, more commonly they are switching teams, or retiring after a long career. But the same idea applies for any of it. Any major change in the sport and they sit down with the media to address it head on. If you want to get the general idea, check statements from drivers who have retired and switched teams, that will be a pretty good idea of how it would go down.
