Nick Coward | Founder of RACECAR Illustrated



PHOTOGRAPHER, ARTIST, DIRT RACING DIEHARD...

 

I am a semi-professional motorsports photographer, writer & 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.

 

My photography has taken me to many great racetracks and given me opportunities to make lifelong friends. I have not only been able to witness their most special moments but I have documented and preserved them for all of history. My creative passion's evolved into RACECAR Illustrated because I believe with all of my heart that what we are doing as motorsports photographers and writers is incredibly important. Personally I feel that my purpose is far bigger than just being a weekly track shooter and I want to provide a platform where a vast array of racing creators can collaborate on stories and images from the world of dirt racing. RACECAR Illustrated is my chance to do just that.

 

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 maintain a seasonal client base of nearly 30 teams from Washington, California & BC; featuring drivers like Trey Starks, Dominic Scelzi, Levi Klatt, Levi Hillier and many many more.

 

I have worked with high profile teams like Jason Johnson Racing, 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!
