Matt Kenseth's #17 NASCAR, I am not sure who was actually driving at the time of this shot, this is another from Goodwood, this was taken after turn two just before the bridge, I didn't think he was going to make it to us after a spin onto the grass in turn two.

Thanks to all who view and comment on my pictures.

The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is the largest sanctioning body of stock cars in the United States. The three largest racing series sanctioned by NASCAR are the Sprint Cup, the Nationwide Series and the Craftsman Truck Series. It also oversees NASCAR Local Racing, the Whelen Modified Tour, and the Whelen All-American Series. NASCAR sanctions over 1,500 races at over 100 tracks in 39 states, Canada, and Mexico. From 1996 to 1998, NASCAR held exhibition races in Japan and an exhibition race in Australia in 1988.

With roots as regional entertainment in the Southeastern U.S., NASCAR has grown to become the second-most popular professional sport in terms of television ratings inside the U.S., ranking behind only the National Football League.[1] Internationally, NASCAR races are broadcast in over 150 countries. It holds 17 of the top 20 attended sporting events in the U.S.,1 and has 75 million fans[1] who purchase over $3 billion in annual licensed product sales. These fans are considered the most brand-loyal in all of sports and as a result, Fortune 500 companies sponsor NASCAR more than any other governing body. In 2007 NASCAR made a profit of just under $3 billion, and was the second richest motorsport (Formula One was first).[citation needed]

NASCAR's headquarters are located in Daytona Beach, Florida, although it also maintains offices in four North Carolina cities: Charlotte, Mooresville, Concord, and Conover. Regional offices are also located in New York City, Los Angeles, Arkansas, and international offices in Mexico City and Toronto. Additionally, owing to its southern roots, all but a handful of NASCAR teams are still based in North Carolina, especially near Charlotte.

Andy Hi:
Wonderful panning tech. Excellent clarity and colors and yet the feel of motion comes right out of the image. Wonderful note, as well.
Congratulations, very well done.

Absolute fabulous action-shot. One thing is strange : I cannot see the driver ? Never the less, I like this one.

regards,

Luc.

Sure looks like a nice job here Andy.
Some good panning! Love the colors and the speed the image suggests.

Hi Andy, you've certainly caught the movement of the car here. Is that what you call panning?
The car is nearly all sharp - very good capture
