If you haven’t caught the news, I’ve moved my NASCAR content out into its own space. I wanted to focus the content and not force readers to have to weed through the content…
But enough of that… since moving offsite, I’ve published a few articles that I thought you might be interested in!
First is where I explain about how qualifying for the Daytona 500 works. Once it’s spelled out, it doesn’t seem too complicated. That is, well, as long as you have a cheat-sheet around to keep tabs with!
The other aspect is some of the Daytona coverage on TV… I’ve put out the Speed Channel Daytona Coverage Schedule, if you’re interested.

Fox Pondering Moving Some Races to SPEED
In case you had not heard… it’s not a done deal that Fox may be moving some of its race coverage to SPEED. The entity of Fox/SPEED is going to be NASCAR’s partner for a long time and right now there are discussions of moving some races to SPEED but NASCAR has to make sure that their interests are met in the process.
Right now Fox is looking to move at most, six races to the race-coverage network while Fox and NASCAR are smack-dab in the middle of a their 8-year deal, this being year five of that deal.
What concerns me is moving the races to SPEED, some consumers will be losing their exposure to the race coverage. Not everyone gets the extended cable packages that they have to pay extra for to get SPEED channel and it would be a shame to lose those consumers that have been enjoying the Fox Sports NASCAR telecasts.
