Welcome to NASCAR FanHouse: 2009

The light, my friends, has finally started to stare back at us through the end of the tunnel that is the NASCAR offseason.

Yes, the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona is scheduled to drop the green flag this Saturday night just past 8 p.m./EDT here on the right coast, 5 p.m./PDT for you left coasters and with that, FanHouse's coverage of NASCAR (and other motorsports!) will have officially hit the big time.

As you may have noticed, someone else has been lurking around the NASCAR parts of FH for the past few weeks under the alias of Holly Cain. Holly has signed on to offer her incredible experience and knowledge of racing for anyone and everyone who stops by FanHouse.

Obviously, we hope you'll make us a regular around the interwebs of NASCAR, but if you need a little more prodding, here goes.
