New Web Site Keeps NSSN on the Fast Track
HARRISBURG, N.C. December 24, 2007
America's oldest auto-racing publication expands its Internet presence
As a way of serving the growing interest in auto racing in the early 1930s, the creation of National Speed Sport News was an instant success with fans across the United States. Since 1934, NSSN has maintained one long-standing formula - supply broad-based, comprehensive motorsports coverage that will remain unmatched against competitors. Now, NSSN is taking that idea to the World Wide Web with the launch of the new www.nationalspeedsportnews.com
"We are very proud of our long history of presenting objective and comprehensive coverage of the motorsports industry," said Corinne Economaki, president/publisher of NSSN. "However, it is also very important to the future of National Speed Sport News that we continue to change with the times. We need to attract the new generation of race fans and hope that our revamped Web site will do just that. It wasn’t an easy decision in finding the right web developer, but we very happy to have World Synergy Enterprises (www.worldsynergy.com) on board with us for the launch of our new site. They are a forward thinking design technology company and have the right vision to work with us. We work well together, making our site the most relevant and exciting digital auto-racing news authority on the Web."
NSSN has been a pinnacle in the history of auto racing and has produced the most exclusive and trustworthy coverage of any motorsports publication. While the print version is well-received and respected throughout the industry, NSSN chose to redesign its Web site so that it would provide more to those who get their news online. The previous site was updated each week with the content printed in the paper version of NSSN, whereas the new site will be updated on a daily basis, delivering the most current happenings in the motorsports world.
"We need to be able to offer daily news to our readers and potential readers, and our new site will fill that need," said Mike Kerchner, NSSN's senior editor. "It gives us a venue to try new things, including blogs by some of our main columnists. We think it is a big step forward for National Speed Sport News, and we hope our customers and other racing fans will agree."
Subscribers to the newspaper or Web site can access the site by logging in with their usernames and passwords. The majority of the content will be password protected; however, updated news stories not featured in the paper will be available to all Internet users. Those interested in subscribing to the print version of NSSN or for an Internet-only subscription can do so on the site.
In addition, blogs written by NSSN columnists and contributors will also be a part of the free content available on the site. A new blog will be posted every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday by NSSN's main columnists - Kerchner, Dave Argabright, Sheena Baker and John Clayton. Various NSSN contributors will begin posting blogs as well. Visitors to the site can currently view writers' columns that appear weekly in NSSN.
Added features on the site include the online store, which will sell official NSSN merchandise, and links to other motorsports sites. Weekly results and major series statistics will also be posted after every event.
NSSN has offered the most extensive coverage of motorsports around the world since 1934. Featuring the column written by the legendary Chris Economaki since 1950, and contributions from racing's most talented reporters and columnists, NSSN provides reliable weekly content for serious fans, drivers, crew members and industry leaders. NSSN is the only motorsports periodical on Library of Congress microfilm.
