Charlotte, NC

Where racing meets remembrance. Charlotte’s mural honors both American motorsports and those who serve. Created by artist Amber Thompson, who apprenticed with her grandfather—a Coca‑Cola sign painter and race car artist—the mural carries forward that family legacy. Bold and patriotic, the artwork features roaring race cars, military jets in formation, and silhouettes of service members—all surrounding the iconic image of a hand raising a Coca‑Cola in tribute. With its dynamic composition, the mural celebrates Charlotte's place as a America’s racing capital.
