01. GRIT



CONCEPT
Textural and gritty, this concept evokes the imperfection of dirt tracks and the determination of each driver to make it to the finish line.




02. NOSTALGIA



CONCEPT
The original broadcast of Thursday Night Thunder ran from 1989 to 2002. This concept takes on the nostalgia of the show’s original fans, inspired by 90’s movie posters.
