Red Sox owner John Henry shows interest in NASCAR ownership – report

In May, word leaked that the France family was exploring the possibility of selling some, most or all of its NASCAR ownership.

Soon thereafter, the topic seemed to go deep underground, but a Tuesday report by Bloomberg.com suggested one potential suitor -- at least in minority form -- is John Henry, whose sports holdings include the Boston Red Sox, the Liverpool soccer team of the English Premier League, and a partnership with Jack Roush’s NASCAR race team.
