If some of the experts have ever left the state of Indiana they may know a few things about racing and marketing. I will usually try to attend and follow through social media USAC, WoO, UMP Late Models, UMP Modifieds, ALMS, ARCA, FAST, Must See, HOSS, Auto Value Super Sprints, ISMA, MSA, SOD, ESS, CRA Super Series, Dirt Big Block Modifieds and probably several local unsanctioned shows every season. I'm not trying to say I know anything, I just happen to live in an area without a lot of racing and have to travel (and am fortunate to be able to do that). My point is you see a lot of different things and notice a lot of different things.
In this day and age someone else is gonna tweet it. A real race fan isn't going to get that same rush reading on a laptop what the sight, sound and smell of a real racetrack will give you. We live in a very different time then even a few years ago. What they should be doing is promotions, where if you retweet a message you are entered in a draw to win free tickets or a pit pass, or maybe a signed piece of memorabilia from the event. That way their followers retweet it and advertise an event for free. It gets viral, it's very interactive. They get more followers (because people love free stuff), and spread the word.

Last time I looked USAC was in the "business" of promoting and presenting races. Part of that is PR before the event and results in a timely manner afterwards. No where do I remember reading in the USAC mission statement that they were in the business of giving instant information to the world. You people have gotten too spoiled, use to if you wanted event info to a race you didn't attend you either A) called someone you knew the next day (which could be expensive in the pre-cell phones connect the world days) or B) you waited untill the end of the following week for NSSN. I for one do not understand people's need for INSTANT information about races in progress, just be patient and wait untill after the event is over and get all the info at once..... and you're right, it's the information highway, not the TELL ME RIGHT NOW OR ELSE highway......
