When you're in the infield near a wall opening or by a wall without a catch fence on the inside, you never ever turn your back to the track. You always have to be watching everything.
If your a photographer at race tracks you should be surrounded by barriers or elevated 6 feet or more…you're lookin down the lens focusing on something your literally blind to what's around you or in a case like this what's coming at you
If that doesn't make you shit your pants, nothing will.
I believe NASCAR was absolutely screaming at Wall Stadium after that… I hope they close off that wall
Jesus, Lucky guy there.
Damn fella, buy a scratcher!
I was there and a lot of people were screaming thinking he got hit…
Talk about a close call
Ralph gives the same sage wisdom as my dad, who used to race street stocks at the local dirt track: NEVER turn your back to the racetrack.
You'd think they'd have better barriers for the people in the infield…
Man that was close
This is why at least at my local track, photographers are only allowed to be on course by a marshal station, where there's always a minimum of two people looking both ways on the track.
Bro, buy a lotto ticket
Someone was looking out for him.
