“PLEASE TAKE HIM”: Fans react as Steve Phelps gets linked with a move away from NASCAR

Reportedly, NASCAR's commissioner and former president, Steve Phelps, has been looked at by the PGA Tour for their CEO position. The golf league has been looking for a candidate to fill the role since late last year, but hasn't achieved success in finding the right person to head up the organization.

Earlier today, the rumoured news was shared on X (formerly Twitter), which also included the information that Phelps hasn't shown any interest in taking up the vacant seat with the PGA and could end up staying with the stock car racing sport.

Fans took to the replies section of the post to share their opinion on the possible move of Phelps.

They also took an opportunity to layer their comments with sarcasm and jokes at the expense of the commissioner, suggesting absurd things to the PGA to get them to hire Phelps.

Steve Phelps was named NASCAR's commissioner at the end of March, after he had spent time as the fifth president of the sport since 2018.

NASCAR president talks about the future of the Rockingham Speedway

Earlier this month, NASCAR's Xfinity Series and Truck Series headed to the Rockingham Speedway for the first time in over a decade to hold events as part of their 2025 season. The Xfinity Series event, 'North Carolina Education Lottery 250', was a sold-out show, prompting the president of the sport, Steve O'Donnell, to open up about keeping 'The Rock' track around for the future.

JR Motorsports' Sammy Smith was crowned winner of the Xfinity race at Rockingham after the disqualification of Jesse Love.

In the Truck Series, McAnally-Hilgemann Racing's #18 driver, Tyler Ankrum, broke a 130-race winless streak to cross the line to score the victory at the North Carolina track.
