So let's assess the first big day of Daytona SpeedWeeks 2010

RacingOne site becomes Motor Racing Network: A new era is set to begin as the Motor Racing Network rolls out its brand new website in time for the 2010 racing season. The new MotorRacingNetwork.com took the best of MRN Radio and RacingOne.com and merged them together on February 5, 2010. While the venture will have an emphasis on NASCAR and its top three national touring divisions, the new MotorRacingNetwork.com will also cover many other forms of motorsports including Grand-Am, IndyCar, Formula One, NHRA, ARCA, World of Outlaws and the AMA. Managing Editor Jeff Wackerlin, Senior Editor Pete Pistone and the staff of RacingOne will transition to the new MotorRacingNetwork.com and provide the core management and coverage of the site. Pistone, who co-hosts “The Morning Drive” on Sirius NASCAR Radio, has more than 20 years experience as a racing reporter in various media. MRN’s staff of announcers, reporters and producers will provide their unique skills and extensive experience to the website to present fans with exceptional insight around the clock, 365 days a year.
