Very good captures, Brent, Hamlin was in the right place at the right time (Lucky), if it wasn't for the crash he would not have won.


EB, you are exactly right. LUCKY indeed. Right place at the right time.
Thanks!

Wonderful series of photos. Validates how tv gets closer than personally being at the event.

I’m a motor sports fan however NASCAR is far from my favorite.
When the car in front is a target for wrecking it dilutes the true competitiveness of the sport.


Norm I agree with you. Having a target doesn't seem very sporting at all. There should be consequences for things like that.

And yet, if you watch a good video of the whole incident you will see that Hamlin was the instigator of the accident when he was behind the car that eventually hit Newman. Hamlin was into the rear of that car and caused him to snap to the left after bumping him and that car was not able to get into the rear of Newman's car without moving from side to side. That side to side movement is what caused Newman to be turned into the wall; just like what Sterling Marlin did to Dale Earnhardt. Something needs to be done about so much draft bumping and blocking; they are very dangerous.

AirWalter, everything you said is so very true. Your insight of the race is right on too. Thanks!

Would you say what Hamlin did was "cheating"? OR do you think the race officials allow a certain amount of bumping and everyone knows this?

Great shots of some bad moments. You were where it happened and captured it extremely well.


Well John, I hope you know that I took those photos from my TV and since I had the race recorded, I could play it forwards or backwards to capture just the right frame.

Are there some NASCAR fans out there?!??!!? I'm not a huge NASCAR fan but just happened to get sucked into watching this years race. The end of the race was about as exciting as you could ever ask for. It was complete with crashes, overtime, and drama. I'm not sure if this is against the photo rules here on UHH or not (since my photos were taken from the TV) but here are a few of the exciting moments. The quality is not so great but very visual. Since I am not selling the photos or making any kind of profit, I figured it would be ok to share with my UHH friends.

Great captures Brent. I'm really amazed at the quality that you got from photographing the TV. I am a huge racing fan, but not NASCAR. I tried to watch the Daytona 500 a few years ago and couldn't get past about lap 20. I do watch the Daytona 24 hour race for sports cars though. I follow Formula 1, IMSA and IndyCar; Laguna Seca Raceway is one of my "happy places." The only time I watch circle track is when IndyCar is doing it, but then only because I follow the series.
