Live blog — Malsam’s NASCAR debut in Bristol

We’re going to try something new on Wednesday.

I’m going to be doing a live blog during the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Bristol, beginning at 4:30 p.m.

A live blog is something I’ve wanted to do for some time, but in this case my focus is going to be Mill Creek, Wash., resident Tayler Malsam, who will be making his NASCAR debut.

To read my story about Malsam making his first truck series start CLICK HERE.

I don’t expect Malsam to be out front with the leaders — let’s face it, Bristol is a tough, tough place to be making your debut — but I’ll try to keep track of where he is. My plan is to have the TV going as well as NASCAR.com.

Should be a great time — hopefully you can stop by and join me.

You bring the popcorn, though.
