WRECK AT GRANBY
Posted for Monday August 3rd.........................

The pits at Granby are in the infield, and lots of times you are watching the cars on the track, whoever, or whatever division is out there. I noticed one of the Pro Stocks looked like Kevin Harvick's car, a yellow and red #29 car with a Pennzoil sponsor.
During their heat races, I suddenly noticed that car colliding with another car and climbing the inside wall. Pulled my camera out and started shooting.
