In February of 2016, I was lucky enough to attend the Daytona 500. I’d been a fan of NASCAR for years, but seeing it on TV does not prepare you for the actual experience. From signing my name to the Start / Finish line to the relentless scream of 38,000 collective horsepower rattling my bones, the Daytona 500 is an experience that can’t be captured on film.

I tried anyway.
