I'm a track photographer at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wi.

I was taking shots during the Midwest Modified Class feature when the #1R of Robbie Franklin went up in a fire ball. At the time of the shot Robbie didn't know his motor was on fire which you can tell by he's still into the gas. It wasn't much later after the shot he realized he needed to work his way down to the inside where Cedar Lake's emergency crew put out the fire!:clap
I later talked to Robbie and found out that something had put a hole in his oil filter where then the oil hit the headers causing the fireball. He now has this shot on his facebook profile picture! :ivar1RRobbieFranklinfireball.jpg?t=1275530469
