PHOTO EXTRA FROM VEGAS
One of DRO’s staff photographers, James Drew, has
been hanging out all week at the Strip at Las Vegas shooting
pictures of the new cars, teams and paint. We got this
group of images this afternoon from James. We especially
liked the photo of the new Andrew Cowin driven Top Fueler
with the Serta Mattresses “Counting Sheep”
on the side and the posed shot of pro stock contenders
for the Schumacher Pro Stock ride, Mike Corvo and Shaun
Carlson.
Many of the Pro Stockers seen here were prepping for
this weekend’s Pontiac Pro Stock Showdown which
will be held this weekend and the rest of the Top Fuel,
Funny Car and Pro Mods were tuning up for the upcoming
NHRA and IHRA season openers.
