Simon Pagenaud's Indianapolis 500 car will be hard to miss on track
Team Penske unveiled Simon Pagenaud's Indianapolis 500 car at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Tuesday, which features Menards as the primary sponsor and a bright yellow livery to go with it. Paganaud, team owner Roger Penske and Menards founder John Menard were all on-hand for the unveiling.
This marks the first time in 13 years that Menards will be primary sponsor in INDYCAR. The home improvement store company will be Pagenaud's No. 22 Dallara/Chevrolet for the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 29, as well as the Grand Prix of Indianapolis and the series' return to Road America in June.
It won't be difficult to spot Pagenaud on the racetrack with this paint job, and you'll need sunglasses to stare directly at it.
