If you are a NASCAR fan, and if you own a computer, one thing is for sure: you?ve found out that the premier stop on the internet to access all things NASCAR is Jayski?s. From information on drivers and teams, to links to NASCAR headlines from all parts of the internet, this is the place to start (and to return to on a daily basis to keep up with all things NASCAR).
The man known as Jayski, whose real name is Jay Adamczyk, is known as a reclusive fellow. At various times, though, he has shown up in an article, or on a rare TV appearance. The most that we seem to know about him is that he used to live in New Jersey, and unintentionally ended up creating the most well-known NASCAR site on the internet.
A few claim to have met him, and all that have usually say either ?kind of quiet?, ?short?, and/or ?wears a baseball cap?. Sparse details indeed.
Most fans ?know? him by the frequent stops they make at his website. They probably don?t think much more than, ?Wow. This guy has the greatest stuff to read and link to here at this site. It must take him a lot of time.?
A dimension they might not know about is from a racing columnist?s standpoint. I have not been writing racing columns long, and do not have the famousness as such writers as David Poole, Lee Spencer, or Monte Dutton do. But it didn?t take the same time as one lap around Bristol to find out that, in order for anyone to see my articles, they have to find favor with Jayski (and the much sought-after link that would accompany that).
You might think of it this way: Jayski is the racing columnists? Godfather (in the Mafia sense, of course). I don?t know if he stuffs cotton into his cheeks to speak in a muffled way, or if he has a garden of tomatoes in his backyard. I do know that, as mentioned prior, that he used to live in New Jersey, and there?s plenty of shady characters that are rumored to hang out there. I also know that if any NASCAR writer that posts articles on the internet wants fans to read them, they must pass across the computer screen of Jayski, and either be approved and linked to from his site, or discounted with a quick flick of his finger, forever negating the article to wither on the cyberspace grapevine.

Jun 7, 07:39 PMUp until Jayski moved to NC, he really seemed too have the inside scoop and you could find out the good, the bad and the ugly. However lately, he seems to be “towing the party line” (NA$CAR). A lot of controversial stuff that has been happening on the track is never mentioned anymore in his section. You only find it in other articles on his site. Perhaps he has lost his “inside track”?

Jun 7, 08:26 PMWell I happen to love Jayski’s site. He and I eat breakfast together, although he has no idea we do! It’s a great place to get the “breaking news” right away without having to wait til the weekend and see what the TV people will bring up. I know he works hard on it and I appreciate his hard work!
Another thing, if you don’t like his site, or the way he does things, you don’t have to go to it!
I’m out to help Cheryl weed the tomatoes! I’m sure they’ll make a great sauce!

Jun 8, 03:58 PMCongratulations. Saw your article on Jayski! My site finally got on his racing links page and I did do some jumping up and down. People can say what they want but “we” know getting the nod from him is a huge deal! Some say sucking up, I say working hard and getting validated for it!
I’ll help weed anyday!

Jun 8, 04:35 PMJayski should take the next step and hire someone to edit. I haven’t seen so many spelling mistakes since I tutored at the local elementary school.

You say that you researched information about this ‘Jayski’ character. Well, if your research into your regular articles is as bad as the ‘research’ for this one then maybe there is a good reason why ‘Jayski’ does not post links to them. If you’ve followed anything that has been hapenning around the ‘Jayski’ site in the recent 12 months then you would have known that ‘Jayski’ is now living in North Carolina and not NJ.
