Clark is also responsible for NASCAR’s gaming strategy and creating fan engagement opportunities via esports and sports betting. He oversees the eNASCAR brand and racing series partnerships with iRacing and 704 Games.
In 2020, Clark led the creation and launch of the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series in collaboration with iRacing.

Additionally, Clark leads the organization’s data strategy team, focused on both fan acquisition and the segmentation of data for strategic use across the NASCAR industry.
Following active-duty enlistment in the U.S. Army, Clark joined Circuit City in a marketing role in 1998. He later helped launch the company’s e-commerce efforts, leading media buying and performance channel marketing.
In 2009, Clark joined GSI Commerce to lead marketing for online retailers such as Dick’s Sporting Goods and Hanes. Shortly after, he was responsible for managing sports league partnerships with the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and NASCAR.
