So you think you are part of the media....

(Ash) So you think you are worthy of Media credentials? If you have 3 websites that supply news feeds to the likes of such: SPEED, Speedway Illustrated, KGKI radio- internet feed, and more- would you not think that you would be WANTED to cover a race, get the top of the time news, feed news that is still NEW (hence the name news) to the racing community and sports community in general. The companies that vest their interest in a company to do such expect it, but when you are denied, what can you do, most of all what can you do for your "customers?'
Let it be known that Atlanta Motor Speedway (October 27-29 racing) decided that "we don't assign credentials to just any websites..."
However, there are credentials given to those who are "affiliated" with vendors, friends of friends, and so on, just like anything else in life. The difference: The credentials we requested were for use of promoting every aspect of the weekend of racing-- more coverage for the track, more coverage for the sponsors, racing news. We were not, are not, and never have been, after the "freebie." Perhaps because some media representatives do abuse this opportunity, we all suffer. But to be denied because we are a "website" that is like saying that AMS is just a track!
Thank you TREY at AMS-- you will NOT be forgotten!
