Only 25 days away until the beginning of Speedweeks @ Daytona! Has any diehard fan here ever gone there for all of the events? I've never been able to make it there but someday I plan on going there for the duration of events. That will probably be just before my divorce. ;)

That was new this year, right? Or, was last year the first year? Memory fading. :(

It's new. They're running it to showcase the short track divisions since the Toyota Showdown is gone. Personally, I think they should televise the Martinsville LMSC race if they want to showcase some great short track racing.
 
Here's a schedule that includes some broadcast time and channel references. I'm sure a more comprehensive list is out there somewhere.

I have gone several times as it's only a short drive from my house. If you ever make the trip though, you should pay a visit to New Symrna Speedway for the World Series of Stock Car racing. February is the most wonderful time of the year:) Wish it would hurry up and get here already.
 
Only 20 more days for most of you here until this all gets underway but for me it begins this tomorrow with the Rolex 24. I like watching our NASCAR drivers battle it out with the regulars in that sport. They've represented NASCAR pretty well over the years. If anyone is interested the green flag is thrown @ 3:30 Saturday. Coverage runs from 3pm-12am and then picks back up from 9am-4pm.

Anybody but Ganassi.

The 24-hour is the only Daytona race I want to attend. I look forward to the 2014 merger with the Le Mans series, and even more classes of cars running at the same time.

By the way, I believe the Speed coverage cuts off at 11pm, not midnight.
 
SPEED to broadcast 11 days of Daytona programming: Whatever news or headlines emerge during the NASCAR invasion of Daytona, during which SPEED presents 11 consecutive days of programming for the first time ever, the network has it covered with nearly 100 hours of programming from the legendary track beginning Feb. 14 at 6 pm/et with a special two-hour edition of NASCAR Race Hub from Media Day. The fan-voted-upon format for The Sprint Unlimited at Daytona (formerly the Budweiser Shootout) will be revealed Feb. 14 on Hub.

A total of 25 SPEED on-air personalities present two weeks of on-track action to viewers beginning when Cup Series cars fire up Feb. 15 for the first The Sprint Unlimited practice session, carried live on SPEED at 5:00 pm/et

NASCAR Race Hub returns to deliver all the days' happenings Feb. 18-20 at 6:00 pm/et, with Danielle Trotta hosting from the SPEED Studios and Byrnes and Ray Dunlap on-site at Daytona.
SPEED is live from the Budweiser Duel at Daytona on Thursday, Feb. 21 at 2:00 pm/et as drivers battle for the final spots on the Daytona 500 starting grid.

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series opens its season under the lights Feb. 22 at 7:00pm/et with NCWTS Setup with Krista Voda setting the stage for the green flag at 7:30 pm/et. Rick Allen hosts with Michael Waltrip and Phil Parsons providing analysis and Dunlap, Hermie Sadler and Bob Dillner reporting from the pits.

New to the SPEED docket from Daytona this year is live race coverage of three NASCAR Home Tracks races -- NASCAR Whelen All-American Series (Feb. 18 at 7:00 pm/et), the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour (Feb. 19 at 7:00 pm/et) and the NASCAR K&N Pro Series (Feb. 19 at 8:30 pm/et).

NASCAR RaceDay Fueled by Sunoco returns for three pre-race editions from Daytona with John Roberts hosting, Kyle Petty, Kenny Wallace, Larry McReynolds and Matt Clark providing analysis, complemented by Wendy Venturini and Rutledge Wood reporting from the garage. NASCAR RaceDay offers pre-race coverage of the Sprint Unlimited, Budweiser Duel at Daytona and an expanded three-hour show Feb. 24 (9:00 am -12:00pm/et) leading into FOX Sports and FOX Deportes' live coverage of the 55th running of the Daytona 500.

Trackside, the network's longest-running NASCAR program, returns Feb. 22 at 5:30 pp/et for a live, 30-minute edition hosted by Voda, Petty, Wood and Kaitlyn Vincie. The gang hangs around the next day for another one-hour edition at 4:30 pm/et.

Live coverage of Cup and Truck Series practice and qualifying sessions, as well as up-to-the-minute updates from NASCAR Live! and SPEED Center, hosted by Adam Alexander, round out the schedule, with Wind Tunnel and Dave Despain hopping back in his chair for an 11th season Feb. 24 at 8:00 pm/et live. NASCAR Victory Lane, SPEED's Cup Series post-race show, rolls into the famed Victory Lane at Daytona Feb. 21 and Feb. 24 at 5:30 pm/et live with hosts Roberts, Petty and Wallace and reporting by Dillner.

I can't help it. The guy is talented, so he's all over the media.

I'm waiting for him to say something stupid about Danicky and get himself in hot water with the media. Like Tony said, the media has been letting some things go without jumping on him.

He's a very likable guy IMO. I think he appeals to a wider audience than some of the most recent past champions, excluding Stewart. I think those two have personality that is more in line with the average NASCAR fan.

The media loves him because it's either a very intelligent and insightful interview or some crazy off the cuff rant. I've been a fan for 6 years, and he's made me cringe many times. I hope he somehow keeps balancing it on the edge and doesn't fall over.
