Some events are special. Others are truly once-in-a-lifetime moments.
Tonight was one of those nights.
Just sharing a little glimpse from a gala honoring some true giants of motorsports — Dave Moody, the Godfather of Motorsports Broadcasting, Venturini Motorsports, the gold standard of the ARCA Series, Kyle Petty, Richard Petty and the entire Petty family for their incredible charitable work, and Mario Andretti for simply being... Mario Andretti.
As someone who has spent a lifetime around racetracks and motorsports, I can honestly say I felt like a 10-year-old kid again meeting some of the very people I grew up admiring. I had goosebumps months ago when I first heard who would be honored and was asked if Dylan and I would photograph the event.
There are times I love my job... and then there are times I realllllllly love my job.
Being able to document moments like these, surrounded by legends who helped shape the sport we all love, is something I'll never forget.
Thank you to everyone involved for allowing us to be a small part of such an incredible evening.
And here’s something else that was awesome. This was the first time, and probably the only time ever, Richard Petty and Mario Andretti have shared a stage together to talk in a fireside-style chat about racing. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment indeed.
