"Infield Parking, which is currently in pre-launch mode ahead of its official launch in February (in time for the start of the NASCAR season), is a social network for NASCAR fans.  It was co-founded by professional racing driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., and it's actually very impressive.\nAside from the slick design you see on signup, the feature set includes all the essentials: straightforward profile URLs, privacy settings that control who sees your profile, a profile pic, commenting and a network of friends.  Users can also tag themselves and track recent visits to their profiles.  For better of worse, you can also embed html like YouTube videos, MySpace music players and of course MySpace layouts, but luckily Infield Parking seems to standardize these designs so they don't become unusable.  \nBut what's really neat about Infield Parking is that despite being a MySpace-style social network, they've kept the focus on the forums: forums have always been one the best ways for fans to connect, and it's a shame the feature often gets buried when these sites try to modernize.  And overall, it's just a really well made social network.  (For those who are interested, the site is built on software by RareFace.)\nOther motoring social networks covered here include Motortopia and AutoSpies.  We were also informed a few months ago that NASCAR has created its own social network in its Members Club, but this is only available to paid subscribers. \n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
