I knew the names wouldn't be legible on the diecast of course, but its cool they'll be including the names of all the fans. That's gotta be one huge freakin' card though!  Should be fun trying to find my name.

You can see a picture of the car at the Sunday Hauler.

By the way, also saw that Jr. will be having a Holiday car for the first time this year. No pic of the car yet for some reason, although ever other driver's car is there.
