Those of us who are race fans have an addiction. The sights, smells, and sounds of racing get in our blood and our brains, the feeling we get is lodged forever in our hearts. Even when we don’t have a track within a reasonable distance at which to watch a race, and have to watch it on television, we are in withdrawal from the type of action and sense of speed we enjoy so much.
That is why, between races, some of us write about it and most of us read about it, to keep us occupied and to pass the time until the next race, while satisfying our hunger for all things NASCAR.
One of the main purposes of NASCAR Bloggers FT Digest is to give the readers plenty to read and think about, concerning their favorite sport. In keeping with that purpose, we offer links to the bloggers who belong to our group, hopefully with enough of a sample to help the reader to decide which links he or she would like to follow.
Here are some posts our bloggers posted on their sites this week:
