April 2022

What another fantastic weekend of racing at the 2022 IndyCar Firestone Grand Prix of St. Pe- tersburg. This year, we had myself (Jake Cough- lin) and Mark Matson on the ground at the event providing photo coverage from the action packed 3 days of racing in St. Petersburg, FL. The race is always a fantastic time and a crowd favorite in Florida, with nearly sold out crowds every day. All in all, we walked over 35 miles combined, over the 3 days to provide coverage from every angle that we possible could. I want to give a big shout out to the staff at the Grand Prix for always being so accommodating to media personnel. It really makes covering the event a blast and we definitely look forward to providing coverage next year at the 2023 Fires- tone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. It was tricky picking out the best of the best im- ages for this month’s magazine but stay tuned for runner up photos posted to the website for even more IndyCar goodness. Results 1.
