A day shooting Nascar
Submitted by Dustin Snipes on Saturday, 5 April 20087 Comments
So a few weeks ago I shot NASCAR for the first time. I was reallly bored the first two days but the last day I had some fun. Turns out there is much more to this than cars going in a circle. Thanks to Mark for being a pal and showing me the ropes.
Here are some pictures from the last day.
Any questions, please feel free to ask.
Compelling images! Motorsports are my one of my favorite things to shoot when I go out shooting for me. July 20th they are having MotoGP at Laguna Seca, you shooting it??
The third is very “Days of Thunder”. Awesome!
Found you through Strobist. Very glad i did. Excellent inspirations here.
I’m not a fan of motore sport but great shots. Especially like the backlit flare in the shots

Great images. I’ve always wanted to shoot a NASCAR event. Well done.
Ok man, the silhouettes of the cars in the third picture, and the row of cars in the last picture are really superb! Great work… Wish I could go there once… There is no such thing in Belgium though, only formula 1 and stuff.
Should I invest in a 1D or a 1DS to shoot sports?
Really great work Mr. Snipes. I am trying to get a press pass for Texas next month and having no luck, I only do this part time but would really love to experience what you were able to. Anyone know of any assistant or photographers wanted for Texas Nascar race in April please let me know. dave@imageintent.com
