haha, you were being paid for a job most fans would pay to have.
From where I was shooting (on the wall, with part of the fencing cut out {by NASCAR} so that there were no fence blurs in the shots...NONE (and I literally mean NONE) of the other track photogs, or even NASCAR "regular" photographers (Winston Cup Scene, etc...) had the balls to do it...Once. one of the guys from Winston Cup Scene came up (after I had done it for like 4 years straight), looked over my shoulder during the pace laps...tapped me on the shoulder, told me I had the biggest set of balls he'd ever seen for shooting from there...and left.
Never came back in future years, and neither did anyone else! LOL!
:P
A few years back the driver of the now # 14 car crapped his pants and won the race.
He got out of his car and had to go change before accepting his trophy and everyone knew what happened.

I bet ya before long there will be a Brazzers branded Nascar car sittin right next to the Home depot /Fed ex and so on cars lololololol
NASCAR decides who you can have as a sponsor so the day Brazzers shows up on a car is the day after Manwin bought NASCAR.

yea, lol, during the race the announcers said Stewart was racing despite intestinal flu. (diarrhea)
I once dated the girl that handed him the Winston Cup that year at Atlanta
Very cool.
I didn't shoot Vic Lane that year, (obviously by the post race lap pic I posted) but that was an AMAZING, and historic NASCAR day!
AK won the championship, Jeff Gordon's first race {although at the time that was insignificant}, Richard Petty's last race...
All in one day!

It's my favorite race just because it was so significant is so many different ways.
AK, DA and BE all had a shot at the championship in that last race. DA wrecked and AK figured out that if he led the most laps he would get the bonus points he needed to win and I think he did that by waiting an extra lap to pit while BE went it.

Agreed...plus, for me, after 7 years of shooting IndyCar (CART), I'd moved to ATL, and lived literally 4 miles from the AMS track! So that was MY first NASCAR race shooting, or attending, too...
I have a GREAT shot (somewhere) of AD & AK together in the garage area. Classic!

I've been going though my head who you meant by " AD " and couldn't come up with a name and then I figured you
meant Davey and accidentally reversed the letters
I'm 30 mins from the track at Daytona and have been going to pretty much everything they run there since the mid 90s.
I used to post my NASCAR pics but not a lot of fans here so I gave up.

LOL Ya! I meant Davey Allison (That was my Polish Victory backwards initials, LOL!)
Coincidences? "JR" Hildebrand 4th turn last lap loss at INDY 500....Dale "JR" 4th turn last lap loss at NASCAR Coca Cola 600...BOTH sponsored by National Guard!

Interesting fitzmulti, I would have never known otherwise.
I wouldn't attend a NASCAR event if it was across the street.
The NASCAR and Indy races were incredible right to the finish and the F1 would've been too if not for the
late red flag and the fact they allowed the teams to work on their cars while parked. That allowed the leader to put on new tires instead of holding off 2nd and 3rd for the last few laps with fresher tires. It also allowed one team to repair their damaged wing. It's a BS rule as it ruined the drama and gave those guys a second chance.
In NASCAR if they stop the race for some reason the teams are not allowed to work on their cars until the race starts again. The rule this way ensures the team has to overcome whatever adversity under normal race conditions.
