2001 Raybestos® Rookie Of The Year - Kevin Harvick

The original oil painting, commissioned by Raybestos, was presented to Kevin Harvick in 2001, in New York City on the stage of the Waldorf Astoria during the NASCAR Awards Banquet.
 
Throughout the 2001 NASCAR season, if he was told a task might be impossible, Kevin Harvick took delight in proving the doubters wrong. In the process, he took home the hardware to prove his accomplishments. Harvick, driver of the No. 29 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet, claimed the 2001 NASCAR Winston Cup Series Raybestos Rookie of the Year Award.  
 
A native of Bakersfield, CA, Harvick took over the Richard Childress-owned ride after the death of seven-time NASCAR Winston Cup Series champion, Dale Earnhardt.

During the 2001 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season, Harvick visited the winner’s circle twice (Atlanta-3/11 and Chicago-7/15) and collected six top-five finishes and 16 top 10s.
 
Harvick found himself pulling double-duty in 2001, competing in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series and the NASCAR Busch Series. Oftentimes, Harvick was racking up time on runways to get to and from events that were not held in conjunction with each other. It was sheer determination, along with an abundance of talent, that led him to win the 2001 NASCAR Busch Series Championship, along with the 2001 Raybestos Rookie of the Year honors.

Kyle Busch, driving the #5 Kellogg’s Chevy, clinched the 2005 Raybestos® Rookie of Year at Homestead, FL. Busch racked up two wins, one pole, nine top-fives, and 13 top-10 finishes during the season. He claimed Raybestos® Rookie of the Race 23 times in 36 races, and was the only Raybestos Rookie to post a top-five finish in the 2005 season.
 
Busch joins Jeff Gordon (1993) as the only Hendrick Motorsports drivers to win Raybestos® Rookie of the Year. He is the first Raybestos Rookie to post two or more wins since Jimmie Johnson won three races in 2002.
 
Busch became the youngest pole winner in NASCAR’s premier series (19 yrs., 9 mos., and 24 days) when he grabbed the No. 1 qualifying spot for the Feb. 27 Auto Club 500 at California Speedway. He is also the most recent Raybestos Rookie to win a pole, and is the only first-year driver to win a pole in 2005.

Involved in racing in one form or another since the age of 13, this talented young driver has won numerous track championships in several series in his home state of Wisconsin.

Pictured in this lithogrpah painted in 2001 are Kyle and Pattie Petty, leading the ‘Charity Ride’ on Harleys. Started in California, the ride moved across the land on behalf of children in medical need, then for the seventh time. Each year, this event has grown in size and results.

Richard

This original oil was created as the cover for the Daytona International Speedway Program in 1991. It was then published as a limited-edition lithograph. This was a tribute to the 20-year association of Richard Petty, his renowned #43 race cars, and STP. This association racked up seven victories in the Daytona 500. Petty, the all-time leader with 200 victories and seven championships, won The Daytona 500 in 1964, 1966, 1971, 1973, 1974, and 1981. The original oil was presented to Richard Petty during pre-race ceremonies, prior to the 1991 Daytona 500.

Only a handful were signed by Rusty during a public appearance, and they sold immediately.
