Remaining Bucket List Races: Any Eldora race, the Ironman, a race in Ventura, California, and get back to Knoxville for the Nationals as it has been 30 years.

Favorite Thing About Racing Photography: The people actually. I love taking the candids. I did not used to, however, things change when you get older and I look at as capturing history.

Outside of Race Cars, what do you photograph? Real Estate, animals and landscape has been doing this for awhile, as

Camera Equipment: I call myself the low budget shooter because of the dirt involved. I buy low end equipment. I use Nikon D7500 and D7200 with Tamron 18-200 is my go to lens almost always on my camera. In the near future, I would love to go mirrorless as DSLR will be dinosaurs within 10 years probably.

It doesn’t get much more perfect than this shot full of beauty and anticipation at All Tech Raceway in Lake City, Florida.

Butcosk shoots races all around the country but a lot of his finest work comes from East Bay Raceway just south of Tampa, Florida, like this shot of a racer getting air next to those famous walls in 2016.
