While I am more into consistency than the few lucky snaps of the shutter that one might earn during a chance crash scene, the three nominees for best 2010 SNORE Mint 400 photo I present here are nevertheless worthy, in part due to the nature of the crash photo sequence captured. Judging other great photos from all those submitted via various web forums that did not include the crash photos captured during race qualifying is merely moot in nature. These are great photos. They are hard to upstage in importance to the masses when compared to any other series of photos captured during the race.

SNORE MINT 400 PHOTO SHOWDOWN

• NO. 1 - Mikes Race Photo - Captures the essence of off-road race photography as well as the forsaken media lifestyle and puts into perspective the perils of one man's plight to get it right when behind the wheel of a Trophy Truck. (MIKE'S LINK)

• NO. 2 - High Rev - Good action shot. Good color. Way to be there. (REV LINK)

NO. 3 - Art Euegenio Photo - Good shot. While not the greatest of shots in the excellent photo sequence from Art, it remains one of my favorite of the showdown. Gotta love the grit of the famed lawn dart maneuver being executed to the detriment of the chromoly a-arms. It's akin to falling flat on your face when walking to the podium during a Grammy Awards speech for actor of the year. FAIL. (Art's Link)
