Jeffrey Kessler Grills Steve O’Donnell Over ‘Gold Codes’ in Tense Day Four Exchange

Kessler pressed the NASCAR president on “gold codes,” an internal strategy where NASCAR would cut out teams and run everything itself to maintain control. O’Donnell called it a contingency, not a real plan. Kessler noted “gold codes” also mean nuclear launch codes, asking if NASCAR meant to “blow the system up” if teams didn’t sign the agreement. O’Donnell denied it.
