Those  baby Borgs look really great.

The winner's plaque they used to award

looks dated now, but those mini trophies

really make a point.

Glad to see Gordi get his...

William Behrends is the sculptor who created the winner's image on the Borg-Warner Trophy since 1990 and also the retro images for the Baby Borgs.
He is shown here working on Al Unser's image in 2020.
