Daytona International Speedway will roar back to life this Friday Night as the Nationwide Series cars embark on the high-speed oval for the second time this season. Back in February, disaster struck in their race. A huge wreck coming to the checker put Kyle Larson’s car into the catch fence, tearing it apart. Many fans were injured and it became a race that many hoped to forget. As the series returns to the track this weekend, a safe and action-packed race is what everyone wants to see. But the name of the race has “firecracker” in it, so there should be some fireworks on display throughout the night. Continue reading →

Jason’s Journey: It Was More Than a Chair

JasonJourneylogo400x300It was more than just a seat. Sitting in a chair that represents so much. Dreams, hopes, and success. It was an inspiration, what I want to be and I what I could be. There are so many opportunities in front of me, but glancing at an end point of one of them was special. Oh so special.

When I toured the Charlotte Motor Speedway last week, part of the tour led us to the PRN studios. Inside the studio is the area where all their shows are broadcast.

The show is hosted by Doug Rice, PRN broadcaster and winner of about a million awards that are displayed in the waiting room.

Elements of its beginning and the people, places, and things that built this sport. These important moments were never supposed to be forgotten, but they indeed vanished as time went on and the sport grew. When the NASCAR Hall of Fame opened in 2010, the ever so important steps in racing’s history were brought back to life in a remarkable way. The creators of the hall nailed their duty to retell the history of NASCAR, and they did in a way that was never thought of. They make fans aware of every little step that laid the foundation of the sport, and what continues to innovate this 200 MPH game of chess today. Continue reading →

The Kansas Boy pulled off the win because he and his crew were flawless all race long. This year’s race will be another special one that fans won’t want to miss. Continue reading →
