When the world of cars and social media collide, you can bet I’ll be there.
That said, I am not really a NASCAR fan. But there was a pretty monumental happening at the Daytona500 last night that combined a fiery explosion, a…
NASCAR, Twitter, and how to get 100k followers in an hour
New App: Viggle – Get Paid to Channel Surf
