The lighting at the Texas Motorplex turns rather awful for photographers in mid-afternoon before it finally ducks behind the pit side tower grandstands. There is a period during that time that I really enjoy, with the right cars racing and the right weather conditions, you can come up with some creative photographs. This shot was my favorite of the second Pro Stock qualifying session. Mike Edwards, the 2009 NHRA Pro Stock Champion, burning out and emerging from the shadow.
