Hide and seek
One of the nice things about nascar.com is the information - there's lots of it. The problem: finding it. Gah.
Firefox doesn't much like the site, mostly because of the auto-load video. And if you're still on dial-up, nascar.com will crush your PC.
Thunder Lounge, a new blog find for me, explains what else nascar.com needs. And, yeah, an RSS feed would help a ton. I vote for more stats - www.racing-reference.com is eating their lunch.
Five years ago, nascar.com was way ahead of a lot of other sports Web sites. But five years ago in Web time is, like, back in the day, you know?
10:40 a.m. update: While tidying up Outlook, I found a note Dustin passed on to me yesterday: nascar.com is launching a daily online newscast called NASCAR 24/7. 90 seconds long. Posted every afternoon. Free (for a change). Shannon Wiseman (who until now has been hidden behind nascar.com's pay wall) will host. The release doesn't say when this thing will start. No, I can't find it on the Web site. Figures.
Thursday update: I watched the first one last night - preview of the Pit Crew Challenge, a blurb on a former MLB player who has a Truck Series ride and big ol' shoutout to the nascar.com site. There wasn't much there, but it was a slow news day until after 5 p.m., and the video went up before then. Wiseman was about what you'd expect - she's done enough nascar.com work not to flub her lines, but the media trainers haven't yet squelched the yee-haw from her accent. Give it a look and make up your own mind.
