Jayski's Silly Season Site

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jayski's Silly Season Site is a Web site focusing primarily on NASCAR news and rumors, created and run by Jay Adamczyk (Jayski), a former United States Air Force mechanic, in August of 1996. Adamczyk started the site after having difficulty finding news regarding the Melling Racing team, and has since worked to get all the NASCAR news grouped together on his website. The term 'Silly Season' refers to the second half of the racing season, when many teams seek to make changes to prepare for next year.

Jayski's is well-known by both NASCAR drivers and fans, and it is often mentioned on NASCAR-related television shows. While not always accurate on rumors, Jayski's often has the first scoop on new stories due to contacts formed with members of many NASCAR teams. It also is home to pictures of the many paint schemes that teams use throughout the year, as well as television schedules, and tributes to deceased drivers. From 2002 until 2004, the site was hosted by KnightRidder. Since 2005, the site is hosted by, and affiliated with ESPN.com, though Adamczyk retains full ownership of it and is the sole operator. Adamczyk is also a contributor to ESPN's Monday night racing segment on ESPNews.
