A few from Saturday's race.

Pole sitter David Reutimann.


Jeff Burton.


The winner of today's race Kevin Harvick.


Carl Edwards didn't win today, but he did clinch the Busch Series Championship today!


Dario Franchitti came over from IRL and still has some things to learn. They are more aggressive in NASCAR than IRL.


3 way battle:




The requisite "burn out":


Tony Stewart led most of the race and was not happy to come in 7th:

I thought you'd enjoy a shot of the championship winner, Carl Edwards and the crowd of photogs around him. It's always a "fight" to get position at the end of these things. People running, pushing, cursing at you, etc.

This is an understatement ! I've been shoved, pushed, and sworn at at major breaking news events. At motor racing events, I've been struck, threatened, and knocked to the ground, by guys who felt they should do whatever it takes to get their shot.

DB - where are you? These pixs were taken from the roof of TMS with a 600mm F4 - First time I ever shot with a 600mm and I had to go to the roof. OMG - that thing is heavy and it's hard to not keep from swaying back and forth on a monopod. But I love shooting NASCAR - vroooommm!

In that group shot I'm on my knees to the front of the other photographers getting pushed, kicked and cursed at, but I got my shot! :-)

Nice job on the shots. I wouldn't want to lug that 600 up to the roof.
