New Paint Scheme for Sonoma

So what is everyones thoughts?

I think Menards yellow might have been a better choice than the green, but overall I think it will get TV attention, especially running up front.

Another option would have been to literally have half of the regular Beam Scheme on one side, half Menards on the other like the old BAR cars used to do in with 555 and Lucky Strikes in F1.

Props to RGM either way for thinking outside of the box, and a big thank you to Jim Beam and Menards for stepping up to fund this race.

What ever happened to green cars being bad luck, the #13, along with peanuts in the garage?

I thought the green car being bad luck was an Indy car only superstition. The old Kodiak car (not Kodak) with Rusty Wallace and Kenny Schrader was up front a lot, Harry Gant ran the Skoal Bandit car with a primary green color and Bobby Labonte was green in the Interstate Battery car when he won his championship.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the red and green in the port starboard layout ..that's classic

Love the half n half thing scheme! Way to think outside of the box. Big thanks to Beam and Menards for their support. I switched from Jack Daniels to Jim Beam after becoming a Robby fan. So the marketing DOES work. If I could shop at Menards, I would! Guess there is always the on-line option....

You know, I've thought long and hard about drinking Jim Beam but something about Jager just keeps me coming back :P

Haha no but in all seriousness I'm always encouraging my friends to purchase Beam when we're on alc-runs but never get any takers :/ And I had a Beam on the rocks at the bar last Thursday for college night so go me.

And I definitely wish I could shop Menards too--my house is practically sandwiched between a Lowe's and Home Depot and neither of them seem to do it for me.

I wish Menards had an online shopping option. No such luck. I have to actually get in the car and drive, like, 7 miles to get to one.
