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.
God bless you brother!

Nice painting, Mr. Kinkade, but you made a glaring mistake. The pavement is shown to reflect the light and color coming from the pagoda and the surrounding bleachers. This doesn't happen in real life as dry pavement doesn't reflect color and they don't race in the wet on ovals.
