This past weekend I attended my very first NASCAR race in Dover, DE. Now this is normally not something I would likely even think of attending unless it was very very easy too.So, how did I end up there? Well, the company I work for sponsored the race and asked me to attend to do the photography stuff. You know, the usual type of thing, grab shots of the signage that could be used in promo material and newsletters.
Turned out though that I ended up having a wonderful time. But one thing is for sure, I probably won't ever be able to attend a race and just sit in the stands. I mean really, how can you go from having a press pass that pretty much allowed me access to anywhere on the track, including the roof when the F16's did the fly by. Heck, I
even got pictures of the pilots the night before.. And no, they weren't drinking.. :), at least not as I remember it. :) I even got a shot of the mechanics. Now they WHERE drinking. :) 
I have to say a special thanks to Mark Rossi of Dover Motor Sports. If it was not for him, I would not have been able to get the access to many of the shots I took. Mark, if you ever come across this blog, THANK YOU!
One frustrating thing was that I really knew no one.. I mean not even one driver. I have to say, it was slightly embarrassing.I ended up with over 300+ usable images from the race, so, you can be sure that you will be seeing more..
