Looks like about $8,000 worth of decals for those looking for a special edition.

I do not believe the title of the book referred to burgundy.

Of course, this is why the smile in my post. It is a tease.

And it is still burgundy.

I believe they were going for a 'brickyard' theme based on the 500 logo this year with the bricks running through it. They are color on color so hard to see on the pace car in pics but in the sun and in person the car actually looks pretty awesome. I hated this car when I saw the pics of it... after seeing it at the race I'm digging it big time.

I lifted this from Harley6 from another thread, not the best pic but I don't have a better one. The logos they used on the festival cars are different so you can't count those. I thought I got a good one of the logo but must have not hit click or something because I can't find it. In person, in the sun, as you walk by it's amazing.
