2008 Kentucky Derby Paint Scheme

This season UPS celebrates the return of the "Off to the Races" sweepstakes, a result of the company's partnership with NASCAR, the Kentucky Derby and the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA). The prize is two weekends of heart pounding, fast-paced racing action for one lucky winner who will travel to Talladega Superspeedway on April 27 to watch the Sprint Cup Series event followed by a trip to the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby on May 3.

A cornerstone of this partnership is the special paint scheme program which will feature a horse racing scheme on David Reutimann's UPS Toyota Camry for the Talladega Sprint Cup Series race. Staying in line with the standard look of the #44 UPS Camry, the special paint scheme features several different elements that will give Reutimann's ride a distinctive Kentucky Derby feel when he takes to the track in Talladega. Returning this year is a diamond pattern, a common sight in horse racing, to replace the typical white base of the UPS Toyota.

Additionally, the hood will carry two logos with the Kentucky Derby logo sharing the space with the UPS logo. The artwork commemorating the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby will also be found on each rear quarter panel to finalize the special look.

While David Reutimann has the honor of driving the special Kentucky Derby paint scheme for UPS, his Michael Waltrip Racing teammates, Dale Jarrett and Michael Waltrip, will not miss out on the action as all three will travel to Churchill Downs on April 30 to take part in a trophy presentation following a race sponsored by UPS.

Watch David Reutimann race the #44 UPS Kentucky Derby paint scheme on April 27 in Talladega, and be sure to tune in for the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby on May 3.
