Many of you may already be aware of the internet motorsports site Racin' Today . com , but I just now discoverd it and now I know where all the best former beat racing writers in the business are now posting.
When I say the best, I mean the absolute very best in racing. These are folks I spent many years with when they covered NASCAR and other racing beats for wire services and daily papers.
This site was set up to provide an outlet for seasoned, well respected motorsports journalists to file stories as the dailies cut back on sending reporters to racing.
Two of the lead writers were the Associated Press and United Press International wire service racing writers when I worked in the press box.
Anyhow, if you want a place to check stories posted by the very best that ever set foot in a NASCAR garage and press boxand not rumors, check out
The first three writers have been good friends of mine for many years and they are the real deal.
List of Staff Writers :
MIKE HARRIS - the former Associated Press (AP)Racing writer who moved from his offices in Rockefeller Center, NYto Wake Forest, NC.
DEBWILLIAMS - former Canton, NC resident who cut her teeth at the Asheville, NC tracks before becoming the beat racing writer for United Press International (UPI) and then was hired by Robert Griggs to spearhead Cup Scene and Illustrated .
LARRY WOODY - Former beat writer for The Tennessean and a personal favorite of Dale Earnhardt's. Be sure to read his story contrasting his first Earnhardt interview to the behavior of the Busch clan and Tony Stewart.
JONATHAN INGRAM - Highly respected Atlanta writer who has covered for many publications over the years.

What a delight to find REAL racing writers who have been there and know what they're talking about instead of this bunch of internet rumor sites featuring folks who have never met the drivers or been inside a racetrack.
