I’ve never really watched Nascar, but for some reason I decided to come shoot it this weekend for the paper I interned at over the summer (The Anniston Star).
Today was my first day of shooting, shooting the big race tomorrow as well, buht I think I did alright. I’ve shot one other race before and that was the Petit Le Mans back in fall of 2007.
I was assigned the finish line area of the course which included the first turn of the track. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, there weren’t any accidents on my part of the course (they all happened on the back half). Anyways, photos from today weren’t terribly exciting but they work.
