I am reaching out to you in hopes that you can help me—or steer me in the right direction! I am actually looking for a Brian Vickers fan who might like to cover Brian. I am wondering if you might be interested, or any of the fans on your site. If you might be interested, or think any of the fans might be interested, please shoot me a reply.

Additionally, I have pasted the info below that you would need to apply. There is a news link below—so that you can see we’re legit—the story is from our Denver CBS news affiliate. Our company is Examiner.com, and you CAN promote your OWN site if you write for us. Many “examiners” (which is what we call our writers) use their column on the site to promote their own businesses, sites, or ventures. You maintain complete editorial control and ownership of your articles/posts.

I am actually looking for 28 fans/writers/aspiring writers to cover NASCAR writers, and 8 IRL drivers. Any help or suggestions you might have would be much appreciated. While I feel I am a good recruiter, and have been doing it for 15+ years—I need help with the NASCAR “world” as I am just becoming a fan through my current project!

Who is Examiner.com?
Examiner.com is an online media site where people across the country go for information, helpful resources, and to hear about exciting events happening in their local communities. We are a Quantcast Top 100 website and one of the fastest growing Internet companies. Examiner.com is a division of the Clarity Media Group, and is wholly owned by The Anschutz Company, one of the largest media investment companies in the world. We currently serve 109 US markets and have the largest team of vetted online content contributors.

What is an Examiner?
Examiners come from all walks of life, from Pulitzer nominees and professional journalists to avid hobbyists who love to write. A couple of our internationally known Examiners include bestselling author John Gray (National Mars Venus Relationships Examiner) and celebrity reporter Robin Leach (National Luxe Life Examiner). Many of our Examiners are retirees who also see this as a way to give back and as an outlet to indulge their hobby or vocation, while others are aspiring writers who are passionate about a topic and looking for a platform to share their knowledge. Each Examiner contributes unique and original content that informs, entertains and inspires readers. Most successful Examiners keep their homepage fresh and current, which usually means publishing three to four brief articles per week, depending on the topic. Examiners are independent contractors, so you will have the creative freedom to choose what to write about within your topic and the flexibility to work from home and set your own schedule. We offer pay based on standard internet variables including page views, unique visitors, session length, and advertising performance, so your income grows as your readership grows. Additionally, Examiners can participate in incentive programs such as the Examiner Referral program. Although this not a full-time "quit your day job" opportunity, Examiners can definitely earn a little extra cash while writing about something they love.

Why Become an Examiner?
Examiners have the opportunity to write about a topic they love on their very own Examiner.com homepage. Maybe your passion is gardening, antique cars, politics, business, caring for grandchildren or aging parents, cooking, technology, or sports. There are thousands of topics to choose from. Don't worry if publishing online is new to you. Examiner.com provides Examiners with the training and tools needed to publish and promote online articles. Access to these platforms help Examiners grow their audience and brand, as well as provide a forum where they can connect, network with, and learn from, other Examiners.
What Examiners find most rewarding is the response from their audience and the exposure they receive as an Examiner. After writing articles for Examiner.com, Examiners often become the local "go-to" experts. Examiners have appeared on local, national, and international media, including The Today Show, NPR, E! Entertainment Television, CNN, Fox Sports, ESPN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Discovery Channel, The Wall Street Journal, and other television, radio and print venues.
