Description
Talladega Superspeedway® is well known for its long, four-wide backstretch and high-banked turns that thrill all NASCAR race fans. Today’s race pace car is the one commandeered by a fan before the start of race in 1986. In the distance, you can see the iconic diesel big rig that fans loved that pulled a large American Flag around the track during the playing of the National Anthem. Thomas Kinkade Studios is pleased to pay homage to NASCAR’s historic past and capture on canvas its bright future in NASCAR® Talladega.
