NASCAR driver Casey Mears, nephew of four-time Indy 500 champion Rick
Mears, reveals the new look for his Phillips 66 Dodge Intrepid –
a crimson-and-blue paint scheme with plenty of Jayhawks – that he
will drive in the Sept. 28 NASCAR Busch Series Mr. Goodcents 300 race
at the Kansas Speedway. The car was unveiled at a ceremony on campus Monday.
Powered by nearly 700 horsepower, the No. 66 Intrepid can exceed 180 mph.
