In addition to the new paint, I'm pretty sure I've heard they're using a new (well, different and in better shape) engine this year. I think they're going to be competitive this year. It's weird, but I'm going against my Mustang predilection this year. I hope the Bear does very well...

After what they did to last years engine, I doubt they have a choice. I still look for Strega to take it again this year even with the new kid driving her.

Good stuff! A big improvement over the unfinished purple flame job.
