Electric vehicles (EVs) have been gaining popularity in recent years, and this trend will likely continue in motorsports. As more and more countries and cities set ambitious targets for reducing emissions and transitioning to electric power, we’ll probably see more and more electric race cars on the track. One of the most significant changes we’re likely to see is the phased-out of combustion engines in motorsports. Formula 1, NASCAR,…
As technology advances, it’s becoming increasingly clear that artificial intelligence (AI) will play a major role in shaping the future of graphic design. One area where this is particularly evident is in the design of iconic liveries, such as those seen on NASCAR race cars. We can expect even more revolutionary developments in graphic design as we progress, with AI playing an increasingly important role. Whether it’s in creating…

There are more expensive cameras, but the inboard stabilization is pretty decent along with the zoom. We can also live with the color. If you…
I was on the coast in Southern Africa when I was introduced “as working for NASCAR.” As I began to explain, “No, not for NAS..” the other party said, “You mean like Robby Gordon?” They knew of NASCAR through the Dakar Rally. Years earlier Gordon had started infiltrating the global ranks, not for his prowess on the once-popular NASCAR circuit. It was his bravado and vehicles from the ASO…
This is one of my favorite videos I made and not for the production value. I think the opening shot I got from an off-limits location at Eldora did it for me. Plus Bubba in a cornfield.
