Event Coverage: 2013 STP400 at Kansas Speedway

The drivers rode around in the back of these Hummers after driver announcements.2013 STP4000065_6_7_tonemapped


A few months ago I made a new twitter friend. As luck would have it for me that friend has a pretty freaking cool job. As part of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series #20 Matt Kenseth team he invited me to come see the action at the STP400 at the Kansas Speedway from a new point of view. Of course I jumped at the chance to see the race from the pits. To keep people from bugging him for passes I’ll not mention his name.

Here’s what I saw in slideshow format. To see the gallery just click here.

Enjoy!

Thanks man for the opportunity to be in the pits and see you guys win a fantastic victory.

See you at a show,

Which is a better presentation of a car, all closed up like this so you can see the lines…
  Or this one?

That’s exactly as much engine as you can fit…

I’m kinda getting to where I dig these body style trucks more and more.

This gives you some idea of the crowd alllllll day long. It was difficult to take photos because of the crowd, but that’s a good thing. A big crowd means more people that might be inspired to go home and build something of their own.

That’s it for part 2, See you at a show,

Event Coverage: 2013 Goodguys Spring Lonestar Nationals Part 1

This weekend I went down to Texas Motor Speedway for the Goodguys Spring Lone Star Nationals. See the other posts here:

 Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5  Full Gallery

We had a great location for watching the vehicles coming and going.

Loved this kool 36

Fantastic flames

I need one

and one of these.

Who wants to buy 200,000 shirts so I can get a new mobile home like this?

Last time I was at this show I shot a couple of photos of this car, before I got home it had suffered some intense damage in an accident on the freeway. It’s good to see it back to life and looking good.

 

Too much patina?

On my wishlist

$8500 is not a horrible price for this almost there hotrod.

Great looking business coupe

Nice work by Hatfield Restorations

More to come tomorrow! Click any of the photos to go to the entire gallery.

See you at a show,
