So today was the first day of practice at the Brickyard. I didnt have anything to do so I grabed my camera, and headded to the track. I have lived in Indiana all my life and never been to the tack when there are cars running on it (I have been for other occasions, never a motorsports race though) It was alot tougher than I thought it was going to be to get some of the shots I wanted, the fence kept getting in my way, and I did not have a press pass to get to all the good spots, but oh well, I got by...here are some of my images from today:
