+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"To create my tribute painting as the official artist for the Centennial Era of this
famous speedway, I was allowed to take my sketching materials right onto the grounds of
the track. I even got to set up and work at the famous brickyard starting line! As I
worked, I envisioned a crowd of cheering spectators from each of the generations that
have embraced the track as an American icon. I even envisioned including famous cars from
the golden age of racing in my painting. The finished work required countless studio
hours, and an immense amount of final detailing. I hope you will join me in saluting the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway® as it celebrates 100 years of Indy® Excitement."
