Here's some of my favorite photos from this season so far. Most is centered on one of short-track racing's hotbeds, Eastern Nebraska/Western Iowa. On a given summer weekend, there are nearly a dozen dirt racetracks running IMCA Modifieds, Sprint Cars, Late Models and Hobby Stocks (late 70's - 80's two-door midsized cars). It's part of life here. Most tracks see between 70-150 cars per race night. The tracks range from near century-old fairgrounds to multi-million dollar facilities.
My sports photography passion is short-track racing. In the polished, sanitized world of modern motorsports, the weekend-night dirt track is pure Americana.
The machines are low-tech compared to an F1 racer, but watching an Outlaw Sprint Car put down 800HP in a 1400lb package, a late model stock car using every rule of Newtonian physics to perform ridiculous contortions in the name of speed, where the traction control is in the right foot and the telemetry is in the seat of the pants...there's nothing better.
In short track racing, August is known as the "Month of Money" with many of the premier events taking place. I'll be going to those soon.
