NASCAR brought to you by Twitter

When is the race on today? 


Too lazy to wait for the browser of your choice to load? Then you have to go to your favorite site for NASCAR news, that takes time. Then you have to look around and read all of the information on the page to find the information you are looking for, that takes a lot more time. Then...


Wait a minute!  There has to be a better way, a faster way, some way I can find out in 140 characters or less. Yes, of course! Twitter. Pose the question, "What time does the race start today?" 


Wait for it, almost instantaneously several loyal NASCAR fans will reply with the appropriate information. 


This works for all situations NASCAR related. For example, say you are stuck at a family reunion on your wife's side, and let's say they are Amish.  How will you ever find out how Carl Edwards is doing at MIS? Twitter. You pull out  your trusty iPhone loaded with Tweetie and quickly post your question on Twitter. 


All crashes, controversial conversations, violations, bad calls, yellow flags, Lucky Dogs, and Jr. Nation protests will be at your fingertips. 


Oh, by the way, what time is the race on today?
