-Brentwood Journal photographer I've been professionally shooting PEOPLE, PLACES, and THINGS all across the country for over 40 years.

Bought a pit pass and shot the races at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway this past weekend. Been going down there off and on for over 50 years, first as a fan then as a photographer.....
One thing I noticed this weekend was a great number of young racers and their families down in the pit area-- proof that the next generation (like my generation and every generation since back when auto racing first commenced on this specific piece of property in 1904), has discovered what a special place this race track is.
Here is a collage of several photos from the races on Saturday and Sunday, mingled in with several photos I have shot in the years gone by. ***And let's hope the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway is victorious over the Nashville political powers and is allowed to continue and prosper for many generations to come!!!*** -David

The command: "Be reconciled to God"
The how:
**realize that we all come into the world as lost sinners: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)
**because of our sin know that there is an eternal consequence: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23)
**God provides the solution: "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
**our response: "That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, leading to righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, leading to salvation" (Romans 10:9-10)
**the result: "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13)

Happy new month..... be reconciled to God!

It is for His glory and my good that God is anchoring me in the reliability and sufficiency of His word. We are commanded to spend time in His holy, inerrant, and everlasting word; and find a church that preaches and lives that truth...... again for His glory and our good.
Happy new month

Origin of the rainbow….. The God who created all things, is the One who determines all things, sustains all things, and controls all things forever. Trust Him and His truth, not man and his lie.
"Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth." ~1 Cor. 13:6

1979- "Dale and Jake"
I was a junior in college and whenever the Cup series rolled into the Fairgrounds I would grab my camera and a few rolls of tri-x. This is 47 years ago during Friday practice, the day before the Nashville 420 Cup race. ©David Mudd Photography

Here's one from a few years ago..... actually 43 years ago from this very night- May 11, 1983, Fenway Park, Boston, MA.

This was my first trip to the Boston area where Diana grew up. We went up there to visit relatives of her's and to do some of the touristy stuff while in town. One night we decided to go see a Red Sox game, so we along with her brother George went into town and bought tickets to the game.
We weren't even sure the game would be played or not, as it rained off and on during the day and the temperature was probably in the 40's accompanied with a stiff blustery northern breeze. Due to the weather conditions Reggie Jackson of the CA Angels did not play, and neither did Carl Yastrzemski of the Red Sox. Not a big crowd that night but we had great seats- 3 rows from the field between the Boston dugout and the on deck circle.
The photo I snapped here is of Bobby Clark of the California Angels touching homeplate after belting the game winning homerun. I also see that there is a reference at the bottom of the boxscore page that says the start time weather was "unknown"..... let me tell you, it was COLD!!!
