Talladega Superspeedway® is famous for its long, four - wide backstretch and high - banked turns that excite all NASCAR race enthusiasts. The pace car in today's scene is the one taken over by a fan before the 1986 race start. In the far distance, you can spot the well - loved diesel big rig that pulled a large American Flag around the track during the National Anthem. Thomas Kinkade Studios is proud to honor NASCAR's rich history and depict its promising future in 'NASCAR® Talladega'. NASCAR® Talladega is the fourth art partnership between NASCAR® and Thomas Kinkade Studios. The prior three paintings in the collection are 'NASCAR® Thunder', 'This is Talladega', and '75 Years of NASCAR®'. This painting pays tribute to Talladega Superspeedway®, one of NASCAR's most well - known racetracks. The 2.66 - mile track is renowned for high - speed races and thrilling moments, with this art showing Talladega's Turn 4. Located on the former Anniston Air Force Base in Lincoln, Alabama, Talladega Superspeedway® opened in September 1969 and still hosts some of NASCAR's top events. Did you know it was called Alabama International Motor Speedway from 1969 to 1989? The pace car in the painting is a nod to the one stolen by a fan on May 4, 1986. He managed to drive a lap at 100 mph before getting caught, a legendary part of Talladega's past. Thomas Kinkade Studios' Limited Edition Paper Prints are crafted with meticulous attention to detail and color precision. Printed on premium heavyweight (100 lbs.) archival papers using fade - resistant inks, each print is individually numbered and comes with a matching Certificate of Authenticity. When it comes to framing, we ensure the Limited Edition status of each print. Placed between 1/8' shatter - resistant Plexiglas and rigid foam core backing, no mounting adhesive touches the print. Finished with a heavy craft paper backing and a coated wire hanger, the framed art not only looks great but also protects the art for years.
To display your Limited Edition Paper Print of NASCAR® Talladega, simply hang it on a wall using the coated wire hanger provided. It's best to choose a spot away from direct sunlight, as this can cause the colors to fade over time. If the print gets dirty, you can gently dust it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using any cleaning chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the paper or the ink. When moving the framed print, hold it by the frame to prevent any pressure on the glass or the print itself. If you want to store the print for a long time, wrap it in acid - free tissue paper and place it in a cool, dry place. Make sure it's stored flat to avoid any bending or warping of the paper.
