Best of Photos from the 2017 and 2018 Drag Racing Season!
About Me:
My name is Alex Owens and I own and operate the drag racing photography business Alkey Alex Photos. As long as I have been walking, I have attended the drag races. When I turned ten, I received my first camera and began shooting pictures at car shows. My dad and I built a 1966 Chevy Chevelle NHRA Stock Eliminator car from Jan. 2007 to Oct. 2007. We had quite a bit of success with the car before selling it at the end of the 2014 season. We are currently building a 1968 Hemi Road Runner once again for NHRA's Stock Eliminator class. From 2009 to 2011, I shot semi-professionally for myself at all of the drag races I attended. In 2012 I began shooting NHRA National Events along with the continuation of shooting all NHRA North Central Division 3 races. My photos have been presented in many magazines and websites including National Dragster magazine, Drag Illustrated Magazine, Drag Racing Action magazine, Drag Racing Scene magazine, Drag Racing Edge magazine, DragRaceCentral.com, NHRA.com, NHRADiv3.com, DragRaceCanada.com, numerous press releases and even a Swedish magazine! My works have also been displayed on t-shirts, calendars, handouts and drag racing catalogs.
