From NHRA media:
GLENDORA, Calif. (June 25, 2009) — NHRA will break new ground in its ongoing quest to provide the greatest fan access in all of professional sports when it invites a special guest, Kalitta Motorsports’ Hillary Will, to serve as a celebrity host on its Facebook and Twitter pages during the Third annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals June 26-28 at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.
Will, winner of the 2008 O’Reilly NHRA Summer Nationals at Topeka, will allow NHRA’s fans/followers to be her virtual shadow every step of the way this weekend, from tagging along as she embarks on her morning quest for coffee to her meetings in the pits with fellow drivers, crew members and team owners.
“I’m really looking forward to giving NHRA fans an all-access, behind-the-scenes perspective, to see what I see and hear what I hear,” Will said.
Will, who is currently looking for a ride, will provide about a dozen updates daily on NHRA’s Twitter page (http://twitter.com/NHRA) and 3-4 updates daily on NHRA’s Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/NHRA/64205041409).
Followers of NHRA’s Twitter page will automatically receive the updates on their home pages and they will be tagged at the front of the tweet with “From @HillaryWill:” and will include the hashtag “nhraoh.”
Fans of NHRA’s Facebook page will not automatically receive the updates in their news feeds; rather, they will be accessible via NHRA’s Facebook page as those updates will be posted on NHRA’s Wall from Will’s own Facebook profile.
NHRA unveiled its Facebook and Twitter pages in March of 2009 and they have already grown to more than 10,000 fans/followers on the popular social networking sites.
