2011 Daytona 500 Information For New NASCAR Fans

Everyone started as a NASCAR newbie at one time or another, and this stream is for them. So to the longtime NASCAR fans, hold off on judging the racing rookies who are just discovering this whole Daytona 500 thing for the first time.

Because we can’t expect everyone to be up to speed on what happens at Daytona, we’ve created a blog stream that just includes the basics.

And we mean basics: We’re talking start times, former winners – and even the date of the race itself. It’s Racing 101 stuff.

Look, not everyone knows what’s going on in the sport, and they might not have ever even heard of Kyle Busch or Brad Keselowski.

That’s OK. We’re here to help.

So remember to be nice and welcome the mainstream sports fans who are checking out this stuff for the first time. They might be sitting next to you in the grandstands and putting 88 decals on their cars before you know it.
