I think it was during the Daytona 500 (not sure) they had a thing that if you had a can of the Amp energy drink, you went to the website and put in the number on the bottom of the can and your name and email address. The first 70,000 got on it.

Is it on the one he wrecked (he wrecked his primary car in practice so they had to go to the backup)? (sorry about that.....)

I am not sure, but it was on the one that did qualify. I am sure it was a printed shrink wrap thing that was probably applied to 2 cars.

If it is on the qualifying car that is the backup car, so you must be right about it being a wrap, so 70,000 fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

My name is on the left rear quarter...then someplace in turn 2 I figured they wrapped the backup with the same livery, but it's hard to tell on TV.

It would take one hell of an HDTV to see that kind of detail!

That's kind of neat...you’ve got to admire those marketing geniuses. I don't watch much NASCAR but I do recall the Formula 1 car that did something similar a while back (for some charitable cause I think).

Or maybe a DOD satellite.

You know for a set of Coil overs you could have your name on my car, hell I already have the shocks (just need to be revalued, again).

I'll even give you the hood & make it big enough for someone to actually see.
