BCI Image Chosen for: Fox Sports 2012 Nascar Photos of the Year

Funny how things work out.  This image, from the 2012 Coke Zero 400 in Daytona came after the race was over…..I was really frustrated at the lack of “action” in the corner to which I had been assigned, and was making the 1/2 mile plus walk back to the media center to transmit my meager take from the race.  (There was a huge wreck on the last lap if you remember)…sadly it happened on the other side of the track from me.  So, I was almost back to the media center, and all the crews are packing up their cars and gear, and I notice them loading cars up. I actually walked past this..then thought about how it might be kinda cool, showing the dejected car crew loading up their crumpled race car into the semi trailer with the fireworks still going off in celebration of another driver’s victory, so I trotted back to get the shot just as the car disappeared from view.   That image, seen here, ended up being chosen by Fox Sports, as one of the 30 best Nascar images of 2012.  Trust your gut….when you see a shot.  Dont pass it by.  If you did, go back and grab it…you might be glad you did.
