About RACECAR Illustrated

My name is Nick Coward & I am a semi-professional motorsports photographer & artist based in Pemberton, British Columbia, Canada. I have been a lifelong motorsports fan, enjoying almost every kind of competitive racing while maintaining a rather heavy bias for dirt track speedway racing & sprint cars in particular. 

RACECAR Illustrated is a project inspired by own travels and the opportunities I have had to capture and preserve the beautiful things I have seen. I was put on this earth to tell stories, to both visually and verbally document something. The world of open wheel dirt racing is what I have chosen.

You can find me at Deming Speedway and Skagit Speedway most weekends of the summer and I have also traveled to cover many different events in the US, Canada and Australia. 

Currently I am fortunate enough to collaborate on different projects with several Washington, California & BC teams; featuring drivers like Trey Starks, Dominic Scelzi, Robbie Price, Levi Klatt, Levi Hillier and many many more.

I have also worked with high profile teams like Tarlton Motorsports with James McFadden, Jason Johnson Racing with Carson Macedo, Jake Hagopian & Driven Performance, CB Industries, Chase Johnson Racing and Tanner Holmes Racing. 

My special event portfolio includes Tulsa Shootout, World of Outlaws Sprint Cars, High Limit Sprint Cars, KKM Challenge, Trophy Cup and NARC Fastest 5 Days in Motorsports; I was honored to be the official photographer of the revived 360 Northern Speedweek Tour in 2024.

I look forward to travelling and visiting more tracks and events in the near future as my portfolio continues to grow!
