  • What's more exciting in the world of motorsport? NASCAR or F1?
    As an experienced F1 photographer, I dive deep into the heart of the NASCAR universe at the NASCAR Ally 400 in Nashville. My aim? To unravel the distinctive characteristics that set it apart from Formula 1, peel back the curtain and meet influential figures and drivers who shape the NASCAR landscape like Michael Jordan's NASCAR team.
    Witness the electrifying excitement of the NASCAR realm as I bridge the gap between these two motorsport giants. This video is your opportunity to develop a newfound appreciation for both F1 and NASCAR. Join me as I delve into heart-pounding action, decipher the differences, and celebrate the unique allure of each racing discipline. Brace yourself for the ultimate clash in this unmissable F1 vs NASCAR adventure.

      This may be irrelevant but I just found out that MJ has been making around $400M a year for his ownership stake in the Jordan brand with Nike. His total career earnings as a player in the NBA was $93.2M.
      Seeing that he travels with a ‘presidential’ security detail makes more sense to me now considering his notoriety and wealth.

    At my first Nascar race the thing that stood out to me was the sound/noise. Sure, most racing series have loud cars, but Nascar compared to many others, its just like a Thunderous noise that goes through your entire body. The single thing anyone who has never experienced Nascar should do is go to an oval (preferably a larger one), Atlanta or Daytona or Talledega where the entire pack of 40 cars goes by at the same time, hopefully you can sit/sand on the front straightaway in the first 20 rows or so. An experience unlike any other.

    If you want to see some other out of this world racing and atmosphere, make sure to visit the 24h on the Nürburgring next year (May 30 - June 2, 2024). 🤯
