A mural created by a local artist and colored in by race fans has been installed in the ticket office at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Designed by McDonough artist Steph Calvert, the art hung in the Visit Henry County, GA tent during the Quaker State 400 race in July 2022. Fans were invited to leave their mark.

“The creation of this piece of art was a fun and interactive experience for our race fans to be part of, and we’re thrilled to have it on display for all to enjoy,” AMS General Manager Brandon Hutchison said.

“It was so much fun seeing this collaborative art project come together with the local community,” Calvert said. “From drawing the racetrack scene, to seeing all of the amazing color work everyone did, to seeing it hanging on the wall at Atlanta Motor Speedway, it was just an amazing experience to be a part of.”
