Sneak Preview: NASCAR Hall of Fame

On our way to the Continental Tire Challenge and Rolex 24 at Daytona (GRAND-AM) we stopped at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte to meet Buz McKim. Buz gives us a brief overview on the NASCAR history. For a "NASCAR Hall of Fame"-gallery hit on of the images above. Or just use this link. 

This is a sneak preview—we will publish a full coverage of our latest trip soon. 

Behind the Block

As regulars might know, I have a weakness for cell phone pictures. I love the way the colors get tweaked. The three images above are made by Matt Martelli (Mad Media) and are behind the scene shots of Ken Block's Gymkhana THREE Part 2 and Ford's NASCAR Adventure with Ken Block and Richard Petty. Oh, I forget to say: Matt is one of the brilliant masterminds behind the Gymkhana series.

Thanks for the shots, Matt! 

RALLY vs. NASCAR: Ken Block vs. A.J. Allmendinger

This is what I ever wanted to see. A challenge between two different disciplines. In this case: Ken Block vs. A.J. Allmendinger. This means: RALLY vs. NASCAR. Nice work, Mad Media! Btw, I need a pair of those boots Richard "The King" Petty is wearing.
