(Photos by David Wealon – DW Photos) – David Whealon had one heck of a busy year in 2016. From shooting ECTA events at the Ohio Mile to hitting the road course at VIR, drag races all over the place, pulling events, and mud bogging extravaganzas, the dude was shooting like a mad man virtually every weekend of the racing season. It is an amazing array of photos that he’s peppered us with all year and now we’ve asked him to pick his favorites from all of that work.

We’re going to bring you David’s favorites in installments because there’s a bunch of them and the photos are all so great we want you to enjoy them all. For starters in this gallery you are going to get that great cross section we mentioned. From the high faultin world of professional road racing to the down and dirty world of romping through the gumbo at the mud bogs. Awesome!
