I know I'm probably opening up a can of worms here. However, as a member of the media, I consider myself lucky to provide local coverage of racing at Lincoln Park Speedway on Saturdays and other tracks like Bloomington and Terre Haute when I'm able to. What I'm curious about is why more tracks don't have someone that sends out a story in addition to the results?
Chris does a great job at the races he covers. Brownstown is fairly good at getting a story out, but as a Sports Editor that does a weekly racing section, I wish that we could get all tracks together to provide at least a small write up and results. Brett Bowman does a great job up in Kokomo, alas it is on Sunday's which doesn't make my racing section, but he is awesome to work with.
I know that in this day and age that people are sending out updates via Twitter and Facebook, but do you look for a story any more? I'm genuinely curious if anyone looks for the story or whether the final results are all that matters.
