We NASCAR types have embraced the Twitter platform with such gusto that it slows down nearly to the brink of a catastrophic crash and on occasion freezes. I cannot number the instances where either on my Mac or my Tablet or my PC or my IPhone where I have had to close and reopen the app and the only thing I can reason is that the stream is jammed with posts and I do not experience this when races are not running.<br /><br />Now, I am not by any means a computer geek (I have kids for that purpose) and I may be wrong but IMO this is one issue that needs to be addressedAncientRacernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-54298207946436844502012-06-05T09:05:09.292-04:002012-06-05T09:05:09.292-04:00Thanks, West Coast Kenny.

Or perhaps this is already happening? Social Media may be the new deal in technology, and although on the surface can be a great addition to sports fans, in NASCAR, I think it can be manipulated, much the same way Chad Knaus had manipulated the cell phone technology during his suspension(s) supposedly sitting at home, yet still called pit stops.It may be great for fans to see an inside look at the sport, and their faveorite drivers, teams, owners, but I get an eerie feeling that teams are using this technology as a backdoor to "stealing signs".

He's gotta come in next lap. 2 or 4? <br /><br />#NASCAR Danicas a swimsuit model she don't deserve a ride. <br /><br />If none of the tweets with #NASCAR in them will be deleted, how can I tell which ones the Twitter producer selected?<br /><br />Will there be a separate page on Twitter.com or NASCAR.com for the curated tweets?<br /><br />@Lisa: On May 18, Jeff Gluck wrote about this and linked to the Twitter job posting.

I hope you will, since a lot of us want to talk to one another, not necessarily to some of the NASCAR crowd.

If I understand correctly: drivers, pit road observers, reporters, PR people, and fans all have their tweets posted on one NASCAR page if they add #NASCAR to their tweet. That's a huge flood of people commenting at once with pretty much the same info, or chaotic with a bunch of different conversation POV's on one page. <br /><br />I'll take a look this weekend, but I'm skeptical.
