Monday afternoon the station had a brief tour at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The tour was for people who have never been to the media center or the station room at the track so everyone could get the layout. I’ve been to the track a few times but I’ve strangely never covered it. I’m really looking forward to race day.

Facebook rolled out the timeline layout for all pages last month. We took a few nice pictures of the staff but I had to come up with a bunch of generic images for some of the other pages. I took my phone around the station and snapped a few pictures to dress up our fan pages. Here’s a...
