About this Artwork

“JW BA” was inspired by UK Indycar driver, Justin Wilson, who tragically passed away as a result of a tramatic head injury on the 179th lap of the 2015 ABC Supply 500 at Pocono Raceway, Sunday, August 23, 2015. He was declared dead the next day due to the injuries sustained in what has been described as a freakish accident when airborn debris from another car hit Justin dircctly in the head.

Justin’s injury was one of the deadly racing incidents involving head trauma that contibuted to the development of the Indycar Aeroscreen and the Formula One Halo

Farewell was created and then donated to the Justin Wilson Foundation auction benefiting Justin’s family. Below is the sticker most racecar drivers, worldwide displayed in honor of their friend.
