Welcome to Daytona Dispatch

February 10th, 2009 by glm

Race fans and non-race fans alike, welcome aboard the IDS’ newest adventure into the blogosphere — Daytona Dispatch. This blog will offer you a little bit of news and notes from Daytona International Speedway as I (Geoffrey Miller, currently the not-so-famous national sports columnist) take you inside NASCAR’s biggest stage — the Daytona 500.

I’ll be arriving at the track on Thursday morning in Daytona Beach, Fla., to cover the Sprint Cup Series’ Gatorade Duels qualifying races and will remain trackside through the 51st running of “The Great American Race.”

Look for a few updates each day regarding trackside activities, a video or two and a few photos from my time at Daytona. We’ll also plan to have a race preview column and a post-race column that will appear here as well as within the paper confines of the Indiana Daily Student.

I hope you’ll enjoy this as the IDS takes you inside the high banks of Daytona. See you at the track.
