I use twitter to get the most up to date information about the drivers. Since I read all of the tweets, I have found that I go to racing websites less. I still come to IOW to get overall updates that you miss on twitter. If I have a specific question about a driver, (schedule or t-shirts, etc) I will go to there websites. If all else fails, I may go to the facebook page. However, if the answer is to go to a facebook page, I usually decide that I really did not need that information that much.

I use FB, Tweeter, USAC and even carrier pigeons if I need to! You keep my kid so darn busy he won't even call his Ol man with race updates..... LOL

Tim, like probably many in my generation, I'm an infrequent Facebook user and have never used Twitter. Consequently, when I want driver info I end up looking for their web page, although, as mentioned in an earlier reply, those aren't always up to date, nor do all drivers even have a page. In that case, I will check FB or do a web search. I hope this helps. Best of luck with your survey. Congratulations on your Sprintweek success. Sounds like a couple of bad breaks kept Bryan from winning the championship.

I rely mostly on the net for info. That new timeline thing on facebook confuses the heck out of me and I only got to using facebook in the last 8 months. Twitter is too short and too dadblamed confusing to me.

I update my homepage with results, where we are racing, and much more every week. Sometimes twice a week. Plus I have video clips, audio interviews, sponsor page, and much more.
It's www.jtstapp.com.
I have yet to start a facebook and only tweet once in awhile.

Read everything off of Facebook. It's my generations thing.

Tim. I turn to IOW first for all my racing info. A year ago I joined facebook and have Bryan, Coleman, and a few others as my facebook friends. The only thing I do on twitter is the USAC twitter updates.

Hope this helps,

Twitter - most of the time.

Facebook - no, not a FB guy.

Driver websites - once in a while.

USAC website - somewhere between once in a while and often.

I also have a google subscription for all things USAC and it goes directly to my email.

IOW - infrequently lately - seems I use it a little less as time goes by.

Jerry, I was looking for opinions based on information for your favorite specific driver. I agree for all of my information IOW is my go to !!

On any given race night that I am not able to attend I have Twitter, IOW, and FB pulled up all at the same time. On my mobile device I usually go to Twiiter depending on the series that is running.

But I was looking for opinions driven more towards the your favorite drivers information.

Thanks !!
Tim
