The annual NASCAR Sprint All Star Race has been an enduring part of the NASCAR experience since 1985. It’s a go-for-broke, show-me-the-money, run-what-you-brung-and-hope-you-brung-enough showdown that has produced some of the most memorable finishes in motor racing history. For more than two decades, renowned motorsports artist Garry Hill has captured the electricity of the May Classic in an ongoing collection of artwork, aptly entitled the “All Star Series.” Prior to each year’s event, he unveils an original painting honoring the most recent winner, with each illustration being made available to the public as a limited edition fine art print. The unveiling of Hill’s latest masterpiece — “2007 NASCAR Nextel All-Star Challenge” — was televised on SPEED’s NASCAR Live on May 16. Commissioned by Nextel/Sprint, this riveting artwork catches Kevin Harvick and the No. 29 Richard Childress Racing/Pennzoil Platinum Chevrolet flashing under the checkered flag at the conclusion of last year’s All Star speed fest.
