DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Race fans, Speedweeks 2015 is in full swing, and if you're not one of the lucky ones to get to travel to Daytona Beach, you're certainly wishing you could.
The Gazette has a special Daytona Speedweeks 2015 event page full of info to make following your favorite drivers easier.
If you've arrived here, you're well aware the commitment The Gazette has put into covering Speedweeks, including both the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Xfinity (formerly Nationwide) Series — with a special emphasis on Cedar Rapids natives Landon Cassill and Joey Gase.
But the coverage over the next four days certainly won't be limited to the two former Hawkeye Downs Speedway regulars.
There will be full coverage of Thursday practices, as well as Thursday night's Duel 150s, the qualifying races that set the field for the 57th Daytona 500 — on which the green flag drops at 6 p.m. on Fox Sports 1. A full slate of when and where to follow television coverage can be found below. You'll see lots of photos, video and stories throughout the four remaining days of Speedweeks, and can follow along live at my Twitter account: @jeremiahdavis10. Whatever news or action that happens on track or in the garage, this will be the place to read about it.
We at The Gazette will do everything we can to bring you the best and most up-to-date information from Daytona International Speedway. Send us your thoughts or comments on Facebook or Twitter about what you'd like to see more of, and we'll do our best to make that happen. And if you are one of the lucky ones to make the trip, tweet and let us know — we'd love to hear your story and what Speedweeks means to you.
We hope you enjoy our coverage — from wherever you are.
