Joplin, MO

Kansas City was the last Race of the NASCAR season on Fox. That marks the last race for me. Ten days before we arrived in Kansas, a terrible storm came over the Midwest and a F5 tornado hit the town of Joplin, MO, about 3 hours south of Kansas City. I’ve been working primarily as the ENG crew for the NASCAR Prerace show. We would do a lot of driver interviews and other 2-5 minute pieces related to the drivers and races. This time driver Jamie McMurray was the our subject because the town of Joplin, MO was where he grew up. We spent a day with him as he went back to see his hometown after the tornado. Or what was left of it.
