    I don't know how you can have a discussion about the best-looking orange racecars and NOT include this one in one of the first posts.

    Loved that car, assuming William Rast is still with them, I hope BHA has something similar to that this year

    I have a feeling it looks better in person, orange is one of those autobody colours that are hard to really show in photographs. Trust me, I've had to colour correct many car photos for PPG in the past. Penske Day-Glo Red is a good example of the colour not producing well in photographs.

    Matt, you may be right, and I hope so, but if you look at the orange on the Novo Pen photo, Kimball's car appears to be the same hue which is a dulled tinted orange. I loved the orange on Dan's car last year, and I agree with others that it's livery is one of my all time favorites. I think the Novo orange would be better trimming the blue, instead of being the primary color.
    God speed!

    Dario Franchitti's 2007 livery is one of the best I have seen, and the orange was awesome

    It was nice looking but to this day I haven't a clue why the 27 has a blue background it just takes away from the car

    It IS orange, I don't care if it says "Yellow".

    Yellow commissioned DuPont to determine what color was most visible from the greatest distance for the fleet. After careful research, DuPont presented a color, dubbed "Swamp Holly Orange." And so the company named Yellow had an official color-orange-the safest color on the road.

    I'm glad you posted that. My Grandmother worked for Yellow for years, and I always wondered why the color was not yellow.

    I might be mistaken, but wasn't the 98 car at last years Indy 500 a joint effort between Herta and Schmidt, and I thought William Rast was a Schmidt sponsor?

    If I'm right on this, we might see the William Rast paint scheme back on a seconded Schmidt car for the 500!

    Nope. William Rast was with Herta the past 2 years at Indy. Last year with Wheldon and the previous year with Savaadra - and in Lights with him as well.
