UPS honoring Ned Jarrett

http://www.jayski.com/cupnews.htm

UPS honoring Ned Jarrett with special scheme at Brickyard: UPS will pay tribute to Ned Jarrett's recent induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame with a commemorative design on David Ragan's #6 UPS Ford at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The throwback paint scheme was unveiled at Infineon Raceway and resembles Jarrett's 1965 championship-winning Ford Galaxie. UPS sponsored Jarrett's son and current broadcast analyst Dale Jarrett from 2001 to 2008 and both father and son appeared together in one of UPS's memorable "race the truck" NASCAR commercials. During the Indianapolis race weekend, Ragan's UPS Ford will feature a classic candy apple blue base design while also paying homage to Jarrett's nickname - Gentleman Ned - along the rear quarter panel. The #6 Ford will feature retro white wheels, which will stay on the car until the team's first pit stop, and showcase the UPS logo as it appeared in 1965.(Just Marketing/UPS Racing)(6-25-2011)
see an image of the scheme on the #6 Team Schemes page.(6-29-2011)
Very cool!

I miss the days of Ned being in the booth with Benny Parsons and Bob Jenkins on ESPN. They were really good.
