Saturday (June 25) at the NASCAR Sprint Cup series practice session at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma was a very productive day for myself. I was doing some work for myself and my buddy Charlie, over at On Pit Row. Part of that was doing what I do best and that’s take pictures. And boy did I.

I took over 400 pictures of the cars, the drivers, the track and I had much perusing to do to filter out what I wanted to show you guys.

Here are a few examples of what I snagged:

Kobalt 500 Was the Tale of Tire Woes

March 7, 2010

The Kobalt 500 as a tale of attrition as tires eliminated one after another competitor at Atlanta Motor Speedway. I was surprised because we’ve not heard or seen much about tires this season, but now we have Atlanta. At least it’s not track surface chunks or stray running caution lights. It’s something that someone had [...]

I believe that when you get too comfortable at work, sometimes bad things can happen. I’ve personally seen that when you trust too much, get too comfortable, your guard comes down and crunch! So too, can I surmise this to be the case for Bob Griese, after making his taco joke when asked about Juan [...]

NASCAR: What's The Deal With Hating Jimmie Johnson?

October 24, 2009

NASCAR Bits & Pieces is wondering what all the grumpy hate is about Jimmie Johnson? Sure, the guy isn’t my driver. The driver I tend to pull for just isn’t up to snuff to compete with Jimmie or Jeff Gordon right now. But there’s so much media coverage about everyone hating Jimmie Johnson. Is this [...]
