NBC Sports’ high-definition production of the 2006 Daytona 500, Feb. 19, relied on 76 cameras positioned and used in a variety of unique ways to capture race action.

Among the 76 cameras were 10 car cameras with three-camera in-car rigs, Crew-Cam and Squash-Cam.

Crew-Cam consisted of a helmet worn by a jack-man working in Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s crew during pit stops. Squash-Cam was a lipstick-sized camera buried in the grass of the tri-oval to give viewers the feeling of being squashed by the cars as they sped by.
