Nascar Fans Have a 'RaceBuddy' at TNT

 Turner Sports today will unveil RaceBuddy, an interactive element that will enhance viewing and assist fans during its six-week "Nascar on TNT" coverage.

RaceBuddy, which can be activated at http://www.nascar.com/promos/tnt/, is a free service that will enable visitors to choose from among five live camera angles, interact with other visitors and send questions to TNT's on-air personnel during races.

RaceBuddy's highlight is an option that enables viewers to watch races online from one of four distinct views:

 Battle Cam (on-track action),

Pit Cam,

 In-Car Cam (viewers can select from among several drivers)

 and Race Robo (action viewed from remote locations).

 Visitors can also select Mosaic, which puts all four camera options on-screen at one time.

This sounds like a grand idea.

Check back and let me know if it really is.

As  a free service I expect it to be slow and frustrating? Anyone else?

 We moved away, but I returned in my teens and , wouldn't you know it I ended up with  a boyfriend (or two) that  raced on and off the track.

  By this time I was a fair mechanic in my own right so it was logical for me to get involved .
