Village police said an officer saw the 56-year-old behind the wheel of a 2017 Lexus when he failed to stop at a stop sign on Main Street at about 7:30 p.m. He was pulled on Wharf Street, and police said he appeared intoxicated.
Police said they found oxycodone pills during a search.
Mr. France, who lives in Ormond Beach, Fla., was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor levied when a defendant's blood alcohol level is .18 and above, and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, also a misdemeanor.
He was held overnight for a Monday morning arraignment in Sag Harbor Village Justice Court, where he was released on his own recognizance.
According to Bloomberg, Mr. France has been the C.E.O. at NASCAR since October of 2003. NASCAR's corporate headquarters are in Daytona Beach, Fla.
Now I'm sure any of Us arrested for the same Intoxication Level (he was 2 times limit) and in possession of Oxycodone with no Rx In the original container would be BURIED UNDER THE JAIL FOR SEVERAL DAYS, NOT RELEASED ON ROR...

Lucky catch by the officer staking out a site with a high probability of success, or had someone been tailing the perp, waiting for probable cause...
Just curious.
