I guess it makes sense that NASCAR makes good use of Twitter. Short track racing = pithy communications??
Anyway, right now I am watching/reading a Twitterized presentation of an interview with Dale Jr.
Twitter address: NASCARSays
Consider becoming a "follower" for announcements, quotes, etc.
What are some other good Twitter streams for race fans to follow?

Pre-season events, festivities
Hello race fans. The season for major race league events is still weeks away. However, some of the lesser-known series are starting up, such as the Lucas Oil Dirt series are kicking off. I saw some of a Lucas late model dirt series event last weekend. The touring division schedule kicks off Feb. 1 in Gibsonton, Florida. Here is the schedule.
Meanwhile, the NASCAR folks are busy with pre-season meet and greet events, such as Thunder Fan Fest, now going on in Daytona. Speed TV is going to broadcast part of the events later this evening. This looks like a fun event for fans, with plenty of chances to mingle with the drivers. I may try to attend next year.
I do not see any Indy pre-season events. Drop me a line if you know of any and I will be happy to post them.

Book about fans
I just saw an interesting article over at NASCAR.com. A NASCAR communications/PR guy named Andrew Giangola has written a book entitled The Weekend Starts on Wednesday: True Stories of Remarkable NASCAR Fans. It sounds like a good read. Here is the article link.
I have not made to an actual race yet (April - Texas Motor Speedway, look out!) but I look forward to meeting some of the types of people Giangola describes.
Meanwhile, I am counting the days until racing season begins.
