Before every race, and during every caution flag, there is a vehicle that parades the drivers around the track. This vehicle is the pace car.
However, the pace does more than just lead the field around the track. It is the also the responsibility of the driver of the pace car to inform the field when they are about to go back racing by turning off the lights. In addition, the driver of the pace car must also maintain a certain speed around the track, and that tells the drivers what the pit road speed limit will be for the race.
So, why did I choose this name? My goal is to be sort of the pace car for all of your NASCAR news. You will find on this site the topical news of the week, posts about drivers flying under the radar, as well as stats that will give you an idea of who the contenders are on race day. So sit back, and enjoy the ride, as there will be a lot to talk about with all of the major changes made to the sport this year.
