I personally liked the spread.  I found it refreshing to see NASCAR, or =
in this case more of a look at stock car, racing shown like it is for =
the majority of serious fans. Small track, some of them dirt. The people =
who turn out every weekend to see the local boys and girls drive in the =
Friday night races for a few hundred dollars.  Everybody has done the =
slick high speed NASCAR magazines, including Sports Illustrated, but few =
have done a real hard look at the roots of the sport as David Allen =
Harvey did.  Just my opinion.=20

I think he chose Martinsville because with the death of North =
Wilkesboro, it and Bristol are about the only "old" short track races on =
the circuit and Bristol has such a huge seating that it has lost a lot =
of that intimate small track feel.

I work for a company that publishes 2 NASCAR magazines and I covered the =
last race at North Wilkesboro and can tell from the photos our  fellow =
photographer has shot at Martinsville that they are similar tracks, but =
North Wilkesboro was smaller.  We also try to do NASCAR with a different =
approach to it than the average racing magazine with more behind the =
scenes shots and people shots.  We only send one photographer to a race =
and we concentrate on getting good shots of racing without shooting the =
race, if you know what I mean.  A single photographer can not cover =
something as big as a race and we don't even try.  Our philosophy is =
that the Winston Cup Scene will get that stuff, and we try for something =
different.  If any of you are members of the Lowe's 31 car racing team =
fan club(The largest in NASCAR with over 250,000 members-mostly because =
of our magazine, free to all members and membership is free :) )  you =
know what I am talking about as we do that magazine.

Oh yeah, the lighting in the Nat Geo spread was incredible, IMHO.

I bet ALL his shots were with M6 and 35. Did you look closely to see who
shot the two others (the long shot and the wide overall)? A fellow by
the name of Joseph Stancampiano, who obviously shot those two photos
from the exact same vantage point. It's the same race, even. I was not
impressed by any of the photos in the story. At all. Just my opinion.
Wonder why the big race pictures all came from Martinsville. You'd
expect to see Daytona or the new one they just built in Texas (if it's
even open yet).
