“Big Roar” Teddy Roosevelt Rough Rider Trophy to be Awarded to Winner of Bass Pro Shops 500. The winner of the Bass Pro Shops 500 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup race on Sunday, October 29 at Atlanta Motor Speedway will be going home with a championship trophy that is truly a unique work of art.
Bass Pro Shops will once again dedicate Sunday’s race to the sportsmen of America and their efforts in conservation. Appropriately named “Big Roar”, the striking trophy features a bronze grizzly bear originally sculpted by Raymond Gibby. The Bronze, a rare remake from the original mold, weighs over 280 pounds and on its base stands an imposing eight-feet-tall. A heavy original bronze casting of President Teddy Roosevelt is also featured on the trophy’s base and symbolizes the outdoor spirit and conservation legacy of Roosevelt.
