these writers for yahoo have to be the cream of the crop to come up with some of these stories they write. how do you even compare the speeds of a daytona prototype with the speed of a nascar winston cup car from the 80s? also it was 212.809mph

In a Ford event Wednesday, Colin Braun took to the track in a Daytona Prototype Grand-Am car to break Elliott's record. After a few runs in the morning, he broke the record twice in the afternoon. His fastest lap was 222.971 MPH, easily ahead of Elliott's record of 210.364 MPH.

Fewer and fewer sports writers know anything about racing. Sportscenter doesn't cover any motorcycle racing but they did a special on cornhole last night.

they actually have a small nascar segment but im guessing that will vanish when their contract for nascar races is up.

It is small and they are clueless. Its pathetic given the number of fans and the dissolution of speed channel.

That said they don't cover ANY motorcycle racing.
