Strange pic on TWS home page

[bmc]

Top of the World's home page has a pic of a NASCAR race.
It's taken from a high angle like from a pressbox or something.
The lettering on the cars is backward as if the image is reversed.
But, the cars are going left to right.
This'll mess with your mind.
Taken from a blimp?
A tower on an infield?
I'm getting dislexic?

Could be a print from a slide that was put in the enlarger or whatever backwards???

Yeah, there was definitely a flipped negative or slide or something in the loop somewhere.
The part that baffled me is that the cars are going the right way.
Someone said they were pretty sure the original shot must have been taken from a tower crane on the infield.
