Josh Baughman's sprint car

Josh Baughman's stripped down sprint car is seen in a retail parking lot near the Knoxville Raceway. Baughman hails from Odessa, Texas, and travels each year to several race tracks across the country, primarily with the ASCS and World of Outlaws sanctioning bodies.

The Google Street View camera car drove through this small town just before the prestigious 2015 Knoxville Nationals (August 12-15). The Nationals is a four day event held each year attracting sprint car teams from across the United States, and even Australia. With over 100 race teams flocking to this town, many teams are forced to find a place to park away from the track to perform routine maintenance. Many of the streetside vendors are not yet set up, which makes me believe this might be the day before the races kicked off. (I was there for all four days in 2015).

On the final night of racing, Josh finished 16th in the C-main (essentially 57th place out of the week's 112 entries).
