Strobist:
Bare flash on the grill, just out of frame camera right, 1/4 power. Also, I flashed each wheel, 1/8th power. Triggered with MiniTT1 and Plus II.

The three captures were combined in PS. I replaced the background with a stock cloud image I had on my computer. Some levels, curve adjustments and then drop in the logo.

A couple more images here with specs on the car.

Jack Roush Jr. and Billy Johnson team up to win the B+ Foundation Heros 200. Their third Grand Sport victory of the 2011 season in the No. 61 Roush Performance Ford Mustang Boss 302R. It was their second consecutive victory at the 2.25-mile, 12-turn Thunderbolt Raceway in Millville, NJ. A year ago, they combined to lead all but four of the 87 laps.

This hot rod had it's roof chopped 3.75" in the front and 3" in the back. In addition, the entire body was widened 2" front to back from the center of the grill. The engine is a Street and Performance 94 LT-1 with a 4L60e transmission. It has a Ford 9" rear with Air Ride Technologies E-Pro suspension, front and rear. The wheels are Budnik Famosa, 16x7 fronts and 17x7 in the rear. Also, many convenience features, power steering, brakes, windows, A/C. The car was built by Rod-1 Shop in Pitman, NJ.

To make the photo I blended multiple images in PS. Each image (7) was lit with an SB-900 in an Apollo 28" softbox. Flash triggered with PWII.
