"This painting was my way of paying tribute
to the man who brought this sport from the back roads to the forefront of
sports," said motorsports artist, Tom Gray. "I'm sure that Bill France, Sr.
would be proud of NASCAR stockcar racing today and would approve of running
the July event under the lights."
The painting, which features a night view of
the main grandstand under the watchful eye of Bill France Sr., captures the
spirit of stockcar racing. "It reminds us that as the sport propels itself
into the future, it maintains a close relationship with its past," added
Gray. "
