Da*n ESPN!

Most of the time everyone works well together and tries to stay out of everyone's way so everyone can get a shot. Well Brienne Pedigo wasn't so concerned about the 100 or so photog's behind her in Victory Lane.

I know ABC/ESPN pays a lot of money to carry IRL races, but where's a little common courtesy.

I think these would have been excellent shots if her head wasn't in them. What do you think?

But it's a nice looking back of the head...Think you captured it well. :)

I used to encounter this a lot when covering motor sports.
It seems there was always one photographer who felt he had to get in the faces of the people on the podium in order to get that "special" shot that would rocket him/her to fame.
The rest of us would scream and holler and this photog would get in everyone elses shots.
I asked a guy once what the deal was. Was he better than anyone else ? He said it was a "dog eat dog" world and to "get over it".
There's always an unwritten law that major network, UPI, etc. get the front row, and the "lesser" pubs work behind them. Most of the time, the 'biggies' are experienced enough to be able to get their shots without hindering everyone else.

She needs a swift kick.

Well, her head being where it is explains why he has as big a smile on his face as he does...

I think it's funny how these folks wear racing suits with thier networks logo as if that makes them "special"
