I made a watercolor painting of Neil Bonnett's victory over Richard Petty in the 1977 Los Angeles Times 500 at Onitario Motorspeed Way; After finishing my painting I decided to combine it with the footage that helped inspire it.

Neil Bonnett wins his second NASCAR Winston Cup series race and his first on a superspeedway win, beating the King Richard Petty himself.
Coincidently this would by Dodge's final win in the cup series until 2001, Neil Bonnett sadly wouldn't be there to witness it in person as he tragically lost his life while practicing for the 1994 Daytona 500.

I made this video edit of another watercolor painting; Based on Bobby Issac's record setting drive down the Bonneville Salt Flats with the soon to be retired Dodge Daytona Charger.
A Test of Man and Mopar
September of 1971 NASCAR Driver Bobby Isaac made history setting several speed records at the famed Bonneville Salt Flats. In the iconic 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona after the car was banned from NASCAR in 1971, Isaac's car owner Nord Krauskopf with help of USAC decided to give the car a fitting send off. Bobby Isaac and his pit crew led by legendry Crew Chief Harry Hyde set 28 speed records several of which still stand today.
