Hot Wheels in Vegas

After a wild and crazy weekend of NHRA in Phoenix it was on to Vegas for NASCAR. Driving up to the shoot I thought to myself it was going to be very tough for Vegas to top Phoenix. Boy was I right. Try not to fall asleep during this blog!

Talladega Day Three (lackluster truck race, stereotypical Nascar fans)

Nikon D3, 80-200mm, 500iso, f5, 1/640th
