The organizers of the Firestone Grand Prix of St Pete commissioned Bennett Awards to create a new set of custom trophies for champions of their Verizon IndyCar Series race. The IndyCar Series is the premier series of open wheeled races in America. The highlight race of the series is the Indianapolis 500. The Firestone Grand Prix of St Pete is one of the signature races in the IndyCar Series.

Bennett Awards was commissioned to create a new custom award design based on the Grand Prix of St Pete logo: an impressionistic Indy Car based on broad-brushed lines. Bennett Awards created a 3D sculpture inspired by this image that served as the centerpiece of the trophies. The sculptures are cast in pewter and feature a high polishes pewter finish. Depending on the year, these sculpture awards have been mounted on a variety of custom bases (individual, tiered, wood, aluminum, etc.).
