The Pit Stall Links
I’m sure some of you have noticed the list of links on the sidebar over yonder. For those of you that haven’t…look right…scroll down a weeee bit…yup, there they are. I wanted to post a little bit of background about that section and why I choose to add the links that I do.
Every link on there is a site I visit on at least a semi-regular basis, and is there because I find the site useful and/or informative, and think you may do the same. Every site on there has been on my ‘favourites’ list for at least a couple months prior to making it on the site. I do not do direct link exchanges with other sites as I’m not overly concerned with PageRank or any of that technical stuff that so many webmasters are chasing. I’m more interested in what the people that visit Nascar Pools Online think than what Google thinks.
That said, a little background on the current links…
Go Teams Go Forums – A web forum with a section for pretty much every major sport going. The Nascar section is broken up by series, and also has a section to buy & sell tickets to Nascar events. There’s a handful of long time fans on there, as well as several with ‘inside’ knowledge of the sport and certain teams/drivers. I visit the site almost daily, and post pretty infrequently. Following with a fantasy Nascar theme, check out the weekly predictions thread, and see how you do.
Jayski’s Nascar Site – A wealth of information about anything and everything related to Nascar. I usually use Jayski’s silly season wrap up to figure out which drivers or cars to put in the groups for the pick’em and box pools. If there’s anything you wanted to know about Nascar, this is probably the place to find it. The site is now under the ESPN umbrella. I visit Jayski.com not so much on a regular basis through the season, but very heavily in the off season.
NASCAR.com – This one is pretty self explanatory. Visited almost daily.
NascarFast – A huge directory of all things Nascar related. A massive listing of sites selling Nascar merchandise, offering betting, about drivers, fan blogs and pretty much anything else you could imagine. If you’re looking for something specific, this is a great place to find several sites at once. I don’t visit this site on a regular basis, but will check it out from time to time when I’m looking for something specific.
Pinnacle Sports – A sports book I sometimes use to bet on Nascar events. I’m not a huge gambler, but I’ll drop a couple bucks here and there on a head to head matchup for the race or for qualifying, and on occasion attempt to pick the race winner. I tend to check the site every little while in the days leading up to the race, to see what’s available, and who the gambling world thinks has the best shot at the win that week (somewhat handy in itself if you’re in a week to week pool…even if you don’t use the site to bet).
Ranting & Raving – A fan blog from a fellow Canadian Nascar fan. Ranting and Raving is regularly updated, with thoughts on recent events, races, announcements etc. Bob (the blogger) also runs some pretty cool contests over there, quite often with a Dale Earnhardt Sr. flare. I check the site almost daily and you’ll find me commenting from time to time as well.
