Homestead-Miami Speedway is partnering with Brazilian pop artist Romero Britto for NASCAR’s Championship Weekend, set for Nov. 6 through 8.
Britto, founder of the Happy Art Movement, has designed a one-of-a-kind trophy that will go to the winner of the Cup Series race. The speedway described the piece as a colorful addition to NASCAR’s history.
Britto will also serve as an honorary creative director for the series. Art fans will be able to buy exclusive merchandise featuring his work.
In a statement, Britto compared the track to a place where everyone is racing for something they want. He said being at the racetrack felt like that kind of moment.
For South Florida residents, the weekend offers a chance to see Britto’s work tied to one of the region’s biggest sporting events, with the race taking place in Homestead.
