Attention NASCAR buffs, take a look back before your Thursday paper heads off to the recycling bin. Tucked within the inserts is a special, eight-page tabloid-sized season preview. The section includes driver previews and a feature story about how the slow economy is affecting your sport. Also, OP NASCAR blogger Matt Myftiu chimes in on his picks to for the Chase field. (For those who were wondering, all the material in the section was written before the Daytona 500 last weekend.) Keep up with the latest news and insights at “Beyond the Track” on the The Oakland Press’ blogs page.
It was a quick process rounding up the material, but we brought readers a good synopsis of the season to come. Enjoy the season. By the way, NASCAR comes to MIS the weekends of June 14 and Aug. 16.
