I hated to see Larry Woody retire from the Tennessean <\/em>a few years ago; he pretty much singlehandedly was responsible for the local racing coverage here in Nashville. Plus he covered Talladega, Bristol and a few other NASCAR races around the southeast. He didn’t stop writing after leaving the Tennessean<\/em>; he writes for the Nashville City Paper and a web site here and there.<\/p>\n

So it was good to see him back at the Fairgrounds Saturday night and catch up with him. He’s still writing for the City Paper, and he’s also writing for a web site called Racin’ Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I checked out their site, and it’s well worth a look. On their About page, they say the site is a “response to the decision of major newspapers to exit motorsports coverage.” They’ve got coverage of all forms of racing, so no matter what you follow, you can find coverage of it there.<\/p>\n
