Daytona 500

Salley heads to Daytona
Salley heads to Daytona


Here's what I worked on at the Daytona 500 this year. Sorry, the link takes you to the BDSSP site, but it was the only way I could show the video. Also, you have to wait for the advertisement to finish playing before you see the vid. John Salley was a lot of fun to work with.

And he's TALL.

REAL TALL!

A Nice Visit


Last week I was working in Daytona, on the set for this season's FoxSports NASCAR coverage. We built eight sets inside an airplane hangar in 2 days, then shot the drivers over the course of another 2 days. I've worked on this shoot for the last 5 years, and in this business now for about 10 years, however, it's rare that Kim ever gets to visit me on the job. But last week, Kim and the girls were able to come by the set and see me at work. In fact, we had a little down time while they were there and so we were able to visit most all of the sets. It was an enjoyable time. They got to see me work with driver Martin Truex, Jr. They came on the last of the 4 day shoot and stayed with me at the hotel (Hilton on Daytona Beach). We really had a good time.

I'll be headed back to Daytona this weekend for the 500. I'll be working in and around the pit areas and infield. Kim's really jealous that she can't come visit me on that set!!
