At Work >> Hard Hot Work
It takes skill, consistency and a tireless work ethic to compete or even be a part of NASCAR racing. The top level brings it's own standard where measurement is augmented by courage and effort.
A UPS worker delivered in the garage area. NASCAR president Mike Helton on his way to work to the Sprint Cup hauler. A security guard watched the garage area near a medical helicopter.
A TV crew member set a camera on top of a hauler lift door. Scott Riggs pushed his crew chief Robert "Bootie" Barker III toward his car just before introductions. Carl Edwards greeted his crew at the pit box. Autograph time in the garage.
Drivers and crew work the hardest during a race, but preparation takes a lot more time around the clock than laps around the track.
Our nation's troops are always working. U.S. Air Force jets performed various stages of a flyover.
