Cool! I hope that there will be a Narnia-colored car as well!

Take a good look. That's as pretty as a Dallara gets.

What happened to Marco's primary sponsor, NYSE isn't it? Have they pulled out? Hard to believe they would step aside for the highest rated race of the year.

I don't know where the NYSE is on this sponsorship now. But it was basically a carryover of Archipelago's sponsorship of AGR and the Andrettis. Archipelago had been with Michael since his days at Team KOOL Green. Jerry Putnam, the former CEO of Archipelago, was/is a huge Andretti fan and he's the one who made the deal happen. He mysteriously left the NYSE last fall, with the NYSE now in full control of his former company since acquiring it a year or so earlier.

There have been rumors for several months that the NYSE sponsorship was drying up. But I don't know where things stand as of right now.

What does the NYSE need to advertise for anyway?

As far as the car, I'll hold my full judgement till I see it on the track, but now it looks real ugly IMO. Like someone just threw a movie poster on top of it. His black car at the start of this season was very cool.

Edit: If it wasn't for the ugly blue Blockbuster on the air intake I guess it would look pretty good.

NYSE still appears on the front wing.

So it does. Good eye. That's quite a downgrade from the side pod/air box area.

They found a new way for an Andretti to fall out of the Indy 500, crushed by a giant boulder! ;-)
