NASCAR Day 3 for USATSI

I survived! I heard "Sweet Home Alabama" more times than I can count, but I made it through my first NASCAR weekend and I can honestly say that I can't wait for my next one.

Here are some of my favorite images from the NASCAR Monster Energy Series Hollywood Casino 400 on Sunday.

NASCAR Day 1 for USATSI

This past weekend I was exposed to NASCAR for the first time. To be honest, I knew next to nothing about the sport going in and was kind of expecting not to enjoy myself. In short: I was very wrong. It was loud, I met the best people in event staff and in the photo room (shout out to everyone that helped this rookie survive the long weekend), and had a genuinely amazing time.

Here are a few of my favorite images from Practice 1 and Qualifying on Friday.
