Well, the last race of the season came and went in Miami. I think that everyone knew that Jimme was going to again win the Championship about 4 races ago. To say that this Team is STRONG is an understatement. These guys know what they are doing, and I’ll bet they may pull it off again next year. Since everyone knew that Jimmie had it wrapped up, the whole weekend was somewhat boring, but hey, I was in Miami, so there is always fun to be had……….. (continue reading…)

Denny Hamlin wins the TUMS Fast Relief 500! He had to battle all day against Jimmie Johnson to do it, but he was able to pull it off at the end. I was glad to see this. Jimmie has won this race the past 4 times that it has been run. I was glad to see someone else win besides Jimmie. Martinsville has become a very difficult track to photograph in the past few years……….

This race was not the best race that I have ever seen at LOWES Motor Speedway, but it did have its moments. After being dominated by Jimmie Johnson and the #48 LOWES Team, it is really hard to pick those moments out and remember them. The above image is about as good as it gets for a celebration. One thing is for sure about the LOWES Car winning at LOWES Motor Speedway, it is a Dream Come True for capturing an image that really makes the LOWES Corporation happy. I know all too well about that, I shot for LOWES for years. This image that is above always made them smile. To bad Jimmie has forgotten how to really celebrate when he gets out of the car……………
