Back when they had the first Brickyard 400 here some company had a contest and the grand prize was listed as a "Brickyard 400 Official Pace Car Replica." They were limited edition white with the purple and gold graphics on sides/hood, tan leather interior with graphics stitched in seats/floor mats etc., etc. When they were to award him his car it turned out that it was just one of the "Official Cars", non-limited, non-special, black on black Monte Carlo with some gold graphics on the side. He wouldn't accept it and pointed out that they advertised a "Brickyard 400 Official Pace Car Replica" which this car wasn't. He mentioned a possible lawsuit and there was some bad press. So the company ended up buying a proper replica to give him. Squeeky wheel gets the grease. Might not hurt to rattle their cage a little.
