“The expression on Dale Jr.’s face when he crawled out of the car is indicative of just what a monumental win this was for him,” Sam said. “It is an honor to be able to chronicle such a historic moment. It’s a victory that everyone had been anticipating from the moment Junior moved up to the Cup Series.” The artist spent countless hours composing this elaborate montage of images that capture the electricity of Earnhardt Jr.’s greatest victory. “That race was a major epic in NASCAR history,” said Bass, “so it is a pretty complex work of art. A lot of time and detail went into ‘Won & Done!’ ” The focal point of the painting is an image of Earnhardt Jr. with arms triumphantly raised above his head in a stance reminiscent of the famous pose struck by his father after winning the 1998 Daytona 500. Serving as the backdrop for “Won & Done!” is a collage of moments that include the #8 Budweiser Monte Carlo flashing across the finish line, as well as two different views of the jubilant celebration that began immediately following the checkered flag. Images of the official Daytona 500 logo, the Harley J. Earl Daytona 500 trophy, and the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series logo put the finishing touches on this classic example of Sam Bass art. “Won & Done!” is now available as a limited edition print, signed and numbered by the artist. Visit the Sam Bass Gallery, conveniently located within sight of Lowe’s Motor Speedway at 6104 Performance Drive, SW in Concord, NC. The gallery is open to the public, and normal hours are 10 a. m. – 5 p. m., Monday – Saturday.
