NASCAR Wrap up

WoW! That’s what I got to say about this season with NASCAR on FOX, This coming weekend will be my Final Race in Kansas. I’ve Never experienced anything like it before and looking back it was an amazing experience. I didn’t realized how much I learned. Even though I didn’t know anything about NASCAR when I started, I definitely have a new appreciation for it. There is a LOT more to it than cars going fast in circles. There is an element of strategy that you don’t see at first glance. As far as the TV part goes, Its awesome to see the spectacle come together, every weekend! Its definitely made me much better at what I do just by being in the super fast paced environment. Huge kudos to Skip, for being able to turn out such spectacular results in such a short time and and space, yes definitely the space it worth mentioning. I cant thank him enough for letting me in and running behind him all this time. I enjoyed every moment, really.

The races after Martinsville each had their own charm. The anxiety I used to have going into each weekend slowly went away as I became more confident with my job and what went on. I had the chance to shoot some video myself and even light a small room for and interview. At times we had lots of rain and recently lots of sun. I got to see and feel Talladega nights, yes, Ricky Bobby was mentioned and I tasted alligator on the grill. Saw the Real Hudson Hornet, (He was a character in the Pixar Movie “CARS”), and even met Larry the Cable guy. Here are some highlights from the past six races.
