Nextra Energy Resources 250 Truck Race At Daytona

If your looking to watch the Craftsman Truck Series Race on Speed tonight, be prepared to have a little bit of a wait as the rain/weather hasn't been nice in Florida. The green flag was suppose to drop around 8pm on the East Coast but now has been delayed until 10pm EST. I still plan on checking it out here in California, which will be around 7pm here, I'm going to attempt to write a blog about it. I was only going to keep up with the news, debates and more with the Sprint Cup Series but I've decided to try and keep up with the Craftsman Truck Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. It will be a lot of work considering I'm the only one who works on this blog and the fan page on Facebook but it's worth a shot and might bring me more readers and fans.

If your not a fan on Facebook, than please become one, I have 231 right now and it goes up each and every day which makes me very happy!! Here is the link to the Facebook Fan Page for Race Insider.  http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Race-Insider/190992907125?ref=ts

Don't forget to suggest the fan page to your friends and family who enjoy racing.

Ok I don't want to erase all this...but I just tuned into Speed and the Truck Race just started, it's on lap 1 of 100...enjoy!!!

Cup Drivers In The Nationwide Series

I've been looking forward to writing a blog about this topic, it always seems to bring up a good debate among NASCAR fans, especially myself and friends of mine who enjoy the sport. In my mind full-time Cup drivers should not be running the full time schedule in the Nationwide Series, it gives them an unfair advantage over the regular Nationwide drivers who don't run Cup at all. I can see if your a Cup driver and you run a few races a year but don't run for the Championship, let the Nationwide regulars go for it. Nationwide drivers need the experience if their going to be switching to the Cup Series at some point in their career so those drivers running the full Nationwide schedule makes sense. If your a 1+ year driver in the Cup Series you should be focusing on your Cup career and winning races and Championships in that series.

When your not a rookie anymore, you should decided okay I'm going to run the Nationwide Series my whole career to try to make it in the Cup Series for my whole career, you shouldn't be allowed to have it both ways. I understand that Cup guys running the Nationwide Series races help the ticket sales, same if their to run in the Truck Series, however if you notice the Truck Series is mainly Truck regulars and only a few Nationwide or Sprint Cup Series drivers every so often.

What do you all think? I really want to hear fellow fans opinions when it comes to this subject, I truly believe this could be a huge blogging topic if I can get people to comment. I only have 8 followers, so please, tell all your friends and family and share your opinions with me and others. I look forward to reading your opinions.
