I had the privilege of leading a team of Navy Photojournalists from Combat Camera Pacific to cover the Navy-Sponsored NASCAR team back in 2004.  Capturing every aspect of the race… from the car inspections, the driver’s qualifying run, the garage maintenance to the car, to the high paced action of the pit-crew and the race itself.

As a work of the U.S. federal government, the image is in the public domain.
