lots of NASCAR and some Indy Car too (menu on right)

what they can do with digital cameras and lenses these days....

anyway, this is just one shot he posted on Facebook- I'd bet a $1000 bucks he caught the whole sequence but I don't know yet where or when we could see it- he works for ESPN the Magazine

SPEED coverage of the ARCA Racing Series season opener from Daytona scored a Nielsen Household Rating of 2.30 (1,723,000 households), a 59-percent increase over last year’s 1.45 (1,062,000 households). Highlighted by the stock car debut of Danica Patrick, race coverage peaked at 2.66 (1,997,000 households), up a stunning 72 percent from last year’s peak of 1.55 (1,137,000 households).

Danica-Mania Helps ARCA Website Set New Records

ARCA - 2/9/10

With a boost from Danica Patrick's stock car debut, ARCA's website - ARCAracing.com - smashed all one day records, times three. Visitors on raceday totaled over 118,000 annihilating the previous single-day mark of 39,375. Pageviews were equally impressive with 715,721, eclipsing the previous high-mark for single-day pageviews of 211,776. Even more impressive when one considers that ARCAracing.com was up against the live telecast on SPEED, which is also likely to produce record ratings.

Along with France, Braig & Helton.

IMG & Na$car together have spent a TON of money over the last year to make this a reality, and it will absolutely pay of for them.
