GRAND BLANC, MICH., (July 14, 2005) – GM Goodwrench, a division of General Motors Service and Parts Operations (GMSPO), has announced that for the first time in our history of NASCAR involvement, fans will have the opportunity to pick the standard paint scheme for the No. 29 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet Monte Carlo for the 2006 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series season.
“On behalf of all our GM Goodwrench dealers across the country, who provide expert vehicle service and parts to their customers and fans alike, we wanted to give something back to them for all their support during our 20 years with Richard Childress Racing and NASCAR,” stated Sue Christophersen, Manager Event Marketing with GMSPO. “In appreciation of their loyalty, we want to give our fans a chance to vote on which No. 29 GM Goodwrench standard paint scheme they want to see in 2006.”
NASCAR and GM Goodwrench fans will be able to log onto Goodwrench.com between July 15 and the end of August, to vote between two paint schemes - the current “Flame” design and the “20th Anniversary” design run in this year’s Daytona 500.
The “Flame” design first made an appearance on the No. 29 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet Monte Carlo in 2003. It has been part of two wins (Brickyard 400 and Food City 500) with Kevin Harvick behind the wheel. The “20th Anniversary” layout combines several classic looks, from the Dale Earnhardt era to current. The front is from Harvick’s first No. 29 Chevy that ran at North Carolina Motor Speedway in 2001 and the back is representative of the black GM Goodwrench No. 3.
“I can’t wait to see which GM Goodwrench paint scheme the fans pick,” said Harvick. “We have had a lot of a big wins in the current car but the car we ran at Daytona Beach (Fla.) brings together the entire history of GM Goodwrench. It makes for a tough choice.”
GM Goodwrench will support the program with banner advertisements on NASCAR.com, and will also promote internally through a link on the Goodwrench.com website and copy in the Goodwrench.com member newsletter.
“Rarely do the fans get a chance to have this much say in what the paint scheme looks like for the coming season,” added Harvick. “I hope they get online to vote. It’s all in their hands. You can’t complain that your car didn’t win unless you log onto Goodwrench.com and vote!”
The winning No. 29 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet Monte Carlo paint scheme will be announced in October.
Genuine GM Parts are sold under the GM, GM Goodwrench and ACDelco brands by GM Service and Parts Operations through GM dealerships and distributors worldwide. GM Accessories and GM Performance Parts are sold in North America by Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, Cadillac, GMC, Saturn, Saab and HUMMER dealerships.

And really a plain car doesn't fit Harvick. He needs to keep the current scheme.
