TMS Media Day Webcast Live TODAY

Texas Motor Speedway will broadcast its annual media day over the Internet today. The media day is an opportunity for local reporters to hear about track news from Eddie Gossage, president and general manager of TMS, as well as hear on the state of both NASCAR and the IRL from some of the biggest names in motorsports.

Scheduled to appear are Stewart Haas Racing owner/driver Tony Stewart and teammate Ryan Newman, and Truck Series 2008 Rookie of the Year Colin Braun, a native of sort-of nearby Ovalo, Texas. [Really? A NASCAR driver whose home town is "Oval-O." That's kinda funny.]

On the open wheel side, Target Chip Ganassi Racing teammates Scott Dixon, the 2008 IndyCar Series champ, and Dario Franchitti, the 2007 IndyCar Series champ, whose returned to the series after a lack of sponsorship kept him out of NASCAR. And of course, what would an IndyCar Series press event be without Danica Patrick? They’ll all appear live via satellite.

Troy Taylor, a Fort Worth native and former champion of TMS’s dirt track series, will also be on hand. The Texas World Dirt Track Championships will be held at the track this weekend.

So I’m sure you’re at work today, but pop in those headphones at about noon Central Time, and listen in here. It should be interesting.
