3 Best Racin’ Blogs (other than this one, of course)

Blogs bombard the Internet in nearly every topic imaginable, and NASCAR is no exception.  With hundreds of blogs to choose from, how do you know which ones are worth your time to read and which ones are just rambling fans?  Hopefully, this list of my top three NASCAR blogs (excluding this, which is clearly the best) will help.

Jayski

Jayski is hands down my favorite NASCAR site.  Anything important happening in the sport is covered here.  Jayski is known as the “Silly Season” site, covering the rumor mill of which drivers are heading where for the following season.  An ESPN affiliate, it has reliable sources who break down what is going to happen before it is made official to the rest of the media, giving you the inside scoop.   The site also gives you access to practice speeds, qualifying orders and results, race results, point standings, etc.  Yes, this is available through NASCAR.com as well, but just in a much easier to navigate and user-friendly way through Jayski.

From the Marbles

From the Marbles is a Yahoo! affiliated blog with writers Nick Bromberg and Jay Busbee.  The blog doesn’t provide the quantity of information that Jayski does, but it still provides great quality.  The blog is updated at least once daily with fresh posts about major happenings in the sport.  It offers race recaps and driver power rankings on a regular basis.  It also covers interesting stories more in depth than what is mentioned in many racing TV shows.  I’m sure most of you have heard that Nationwide isn’t returning as the title sponsor of NASCAR’s second largest series after 2014.  But have you heard why?  Or who may fill that spot as sponsor?  From the Marbles has a post to help explain.

Bump-Drafts

There’s nothing showy or glitzy about this blog, but it still has great content.  This blog gives you more of a fan perspective than most others.  It is also more opinionated and a tad less “politically correct” at times than some of the other major blogs, but I give kudos to Bump-Drafts for saying what a lot of people think but just don’t always say.   I will admit, I usually try to stay away from the opinion related pieces and stick to the facts, but Bump-Drafts comes from an interesting perspective with a fun writing style that I enjoy, and I hope you will, too.
