    Hello Friends!

 

    Don’t forget that on Saturday, May 19, Daytona International Speedway will be the focus of a talk by J.J. O’Malley, motorsports journalist and author and senior editor of publications for the International Speedway Corp.

 

    It’s the kickoff talk for our 2012 Center Conversations series “America’s Great Tracks.”

The other sessions: Riverside International Raceway, June 23; Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Aug. 25; and Road America, Oct. 13.

O’Malley’s talk will begin at 1 p.m.

O’Malley knows Daytona well. His latest book, “Daytona Hot Shoe: The History of Short Track Motorcycle Racing in Daytona,” was released in March by Anthem Motorsports.

Among his eight other books on racing are “Daytona 24 Hours: the Definitive History of America’s Great Endurance Race” and “Daytona 500: 50 Years of the Great American Race 2008.”

O’Malley teamed up with our own Bill Green to produce “Watkins Glen - From Griswold to Gordon: Fifty Years of Competition at the Home of American Road Racing.” O’Malley is a former director of communications at Watkins Glen International.

Hope to see you here on Saturday!
