A photo finish occurs in a sporting race when multiple competitors cross the finishing line at nearly the same time. As the naked eye may not be able to discriminate between which of the competitors crossed the line first, a photo or video taken at the finish line may be used for a more accurate check.
Finish line photos are still used in nearly every modern racing sport. Although some sports use electronic equipment to track the racers during a race, a photo is considered the most important evidence in selecting the winner. They are especially important during close races, but they are also used to assign official times to each competitor during any race.
Photo-finish cameras were developed during the 1940s and 1950s as a means of regulating the racing industry and to reduce cheating. Betting on races became increasingly popular during the middle decades of the twentieth century. Authorities were therefore concerned to improve the probity of racing which was widely regarded as corrupt.

John Hunter Nemechek (born June 11, 1997) is an American professional stock car racing driver. Son of NASCAR competitor Joe Nemechek, he was the 2012 champion in the Allison Legacy Series. He currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 8 Chevrolet Silverado for NEMCO Motorsports.
Born June 11, 1997, Nemechek is a native of Mooresville, North Carolina; he was named after his uncle, John Nemechek, who had been killed in a racing accident earlier that year in a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He is a student at the Davidson Day School in Davidson, North Carolina.
Nemechek was the subject of a children's book on racing, Racin' Buddies, written by his father in 2001.
Nemechek began his racing career at the age of 5, competing in go-karts, quarter midget cars and in dirt bike competition. He moved up to stock car competition in 2010, competing in the Allison Legacy Series with sponsorship from England Stove Works.
Camping World is an American corporation specializing in selling parts and service for recreational vehicles and supplies for camping. The company is based in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and is privately held. Camping World has 100+ retail/service locations throughout the United States, and also sells goods through mail order and online. It claims to be the world's largest supplier of RV parts and supplies. The company is also the title sponsor for the NASCAR Camping World East Series, NASCAR Camping World West Series, and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
Camping World began in 1966 with a small store in Beech Bend Park, an amusement park outside of Bowling Green which billed its campground as the world's largest. Campers at the park were requesting a store where they could buy supplies, so David Garvin—son of the park's owner—took out a loan and opened the store. Garvin amassed a large customer list as the years went by, which proved to be a windfall later when he added a mail-order division to the company. That division thrived, fueling the company's growth for years to come.

At seven this mornin' I got on the horn and said to hold my bronc
as long as you can
My car broke down in Billings and they just got it put together
I'll be photo finishing into old Cheyenne.
Well here I am in Sheridan and it's 9 o'clock in the morning
and times a going fast
I just pulled 'er over had some coffee and a doughnut and I bought the
car a brand new tank of gas.
Well I don't know if I'm gonna make it's 9: 15, I'll be lucky if I ever get there
By God now what's that I hear is it a siren
Sure enough he got me on his radar
He pulled up behind me and turned on those flashing lights a sign that
I knew meant to pull her over
So I stomped on my brakes and as skidded to a halt I wiped out three
reflector posts along the shoulder.
He got out of his car and was a walkin' real slow, so I jumped out and
met him half way, He jerked out his gun and said "Mister are you crazy?
I ain't never seen nobody drive that way."
I told him take it easy and he could put up that cannon the way he's
shakin' it just might go off. He put up the gun as I explained my situation
he listened to my story and he coughed.
He wrote me out a ticket that seemed to take forever, I took it as I headed
for my car.
That cop he hollered out at me and said "Hey cowboy you better slow down
cause you can't outrun this radar"
As I rolled on down the road I was a cursin' and a swearin' about the
ticket that I had just acquired, I wondered if I oughtta pay it or throw
it out the window, hell I might just set the damn thing afire.
So I gunned it once again and was traveling down the highway
with the gas pedal mashed to the floor
When I came around a curve and right there in the highway there's
more damn sheep than I've ever seen before.
I'm going to fast to ever stop so I just close my eyes as the car rolls on through
the herd.
When I open up my eyes again there's a sheep on the fender, and
that herder's saying some mighty awful words.
The sweats a drippin' off my brow as I barrell through ole Wheatland
I'm a nervous wreck and I must be a sight, the flies inside this ole car
are buzzing all around me, guess my 24 hour deodorant quit last night.
60 50 40 30 20 miles more the rodeo starts in another 18 minutes
I pull in through the main gates I hear the anthem playin'
I can't believeit, thank God I finally made it.
There's only one more obstacle that's standing in my way, it's a
nit wit with a weekend badge. He's standing by the gate and as I
slide her to a halt he says "Where in the hell you going so doggone fast?"
I tell him that I'm entered and I ain't got time to talk, my horse is in the
chute and I'm late. He says I need to get a pass from the secretary
my eyes get red my heart fills up with hate.
I yell you dirty so and so you better let me through, he asked if I'd repeat
that once again, so I whacked him in the mouth and I left him lying there
on his back kicking in the sand.
I got there just in time to see my bronc come runnin out his head and tail
held way up high I swear he looked right straight at me, grinned and
gave a horse laugh, and me I just stood there and cried.
I stood there feelin' helpless and purely dumbfounded, I looked and what did
I see three highway patrolmen and a gateman with a fat lip and they were
all a lookin' back at me
Sittin' in this cell now I've done a lot of thinkin' about that
wild ride I made a month ago, I'm sorry that I'm in this rotten situation
If I could do it again I wouldn't have drove so slow,
