View From Pit Road

My Dad and I were able to get pit pass for the Coca-Cola 600 yesterday. We had Cold Passes meaning we were supposed to leave the pits one hour before race time. If we had Hot Passes then we could be in the pits the entire race. We talked to the Jimmie Johnson crew and they didn't mind us staying there out of the way. As long as NASCAR security didn't find us we were good.

This is the start of the first lap after the three warm up laps, the same view that the crew chief gets.















This is the start of lap two. You see that the cars were going just a bit faster this time and my camera didn't quite get everything in focus. The one thing about being in the pits when all 40 or so cars start their engines its just a little on the load side.
