Michael Waltrip earned his first Camping World Truck Series win on the 10th anniversary of his Daytona 500 victory and the death of Dale Earnhardt in a wild and woolly 250 mile event. The race itself was uneventful until past the halfway mark when all hell broke loose - everywhere except Turn 4 where I was working! I saw lots of damaged race trucks and close racing - nose to tail, side by side and in packs. And it was a very long day that didn't end until almost midnight. For my first race event at Daytona, I was very happy with the lighting and the help I got from lots of folks around the track. Today is another busy day but after the Nationwide race, I should have some time to relax and do some proper editing of my photos from yesterday and today. Until then, here's a quick slide show from last night's truck race.
Documenting my photography journey with original content in words and pictures. Based in Indianapolis, I've been a racing photojournalist since 1984 with publication credits in international media outlets such as Associated Press, motorsport.com, Autosport Japan and Auto Hebdo. Please enjoy the stories of my journey as a motorsports photographer chronicling the Indy 500, Indycar, NASCAR, ARCA, USAC, IMSA, LeMans and other series. My blog title pays homage to Indiana towns that end in -ville.
