I had a great day going to the NASCAR Ambetter 300 at NHMS.  As life long race fan, I get really geeked out at the races! The great people at the track gave me an all access pass that allowed me to get into the Infield and the garage areas where you see all the behind stage scenes, like their awesome NASCAR Trailers and RV's.

About 30 minutes before the race I stumbled into area where the drives get ready for the introductions, One by one they get dropped off by the hundreds of golf carts that are all over the place. I got a chance to get pictures of a bunch of drivers as they were headed in the holding area where they gather pre race.

One of the things I noticed is that most of the drivers are not very big guys, they're all in very good shape and they all have beautiful wives and girlfriends too.

I hope you enjoy some of these candid behind the scenes pics of the drivers as they get ready to race for 301 miles at the Magic Mile!

Bob is a native New Englander, growing up (sorta) in Maine where his love for radio started at a young age. While in high school he hosted radio shows on a local radio station, and he has never looked back. Bob joined the US Navy and served onboard the Sixth Fleet Flagship as a radio and TV host. After serving for 3 years, it was off to Emerson College in Boston. Bob hosted shows in Boston on WMEX, WVBF and WSSH in the 80’s and 90’s before heading to radio stations in Raleigh, NC, Manchester, NH, and New York City. Bob has been married for almost 25 years to Carolyn, a Woburn gal and they have 3 daughters, Nicole, Taylor, and Bridget. Bob and Carolyn are proud first-time grandparents to baby Caroline, who they plan to spoil every chance they get! “I started my career in New England and could not be happier to come back to Boston where I can root for all the Boston sports teams and eat lots of lobster rolls and clam chowder (okay not lots)… It is an honor to host the WROR morning show with LBF and wake up the World’s Greatest City!” Bob writes about recipes and restaurants, pop culture and trending topics.
