American Fan

"A race fan poses for a portrait ahead of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway on August 23, 2014 in Bristol, Tennessee."

Much like any sport, there are diehard fans that travel to every single game, match and race.

This is no different in the world of NASCAR.

Most of these iconic fans are seen on a weekly basis - and it's hard to ignore them with their flashy outfits.

Almost every single one of these characters have been photographed more than any other person at the track on any given weekend, but they help visually tell the story.

After making a quick connection of this race fan and a wall he was walking by, I asked him to pose for a portrait. It's always fun to step away from documenting candid moments to pose a subject for a graphic portrait.
