After a few year’s hiatus, my Dad and I returned to Loudon, NH for a day filled with stock car racing. Yesterday featured two races, one for the Whelen Modified Tour, the other for the NASCAR Nationwide series. While the Nationwide race was rather dull, the Modifieds put on quite a show, with a side-by-side finish I had not yet seen before in person.
Seeing the Modified race is just a taste of what to come next year when the IZOD IndyCar series returns to Loudon.
Today’s picture is from neither of those races, but rather from the practice run for today’s Sprint Cup series race, The Lenox Industrial Tools 301. Why 301 and not 300? Because they go the extra mile! * Insert groan here *
Pictured here is today’s winner, the number 48 of Jimmy Johnson. More pictures to come.

Wow. That’s a might fast lense you’ve got there. I’m growing more and more jealous.

Thanks dude, you should be jealous. Also there were many, many outtakes in order to get this shot.

Good shot. Man, you’re a redneck.

What, I like fast things.
