Looks LMB to me, maybe it's the camera or lighting.

If that is in fact SSB, then they REALLY shined it up! Weird...

Looks to be SSB it's overcast so that might be the reason it looks a shade darker.

That looks like a different and better blue than SSB, I like it.

That doesn't look like SSB from that photo. Looks more like LeMans Blue.

There are a few other pics I have seen that you CAN tell it's SSB in different lighting.

They usually never paint the pace cars available factory colors.

Last year the Brickyard 400 was metallic green, and the Daytona 500 from a few years ago was gold metallic

ETA: nevermind here is a link to pics of the actual car. Looks like SSB but hard to tell for sure

I had seen the SSB on a GS at the Dover Raceway, this year. A very impressive color. I have an LMB coupe, which, I love, but, the SSB would be my next choice if I were to buy another Vette.
