Dixon, a six-time Ind圜ar season champion but only one-time winner of the 500, said this week that the defeats that end under caution are the ones that bother him most. There was no red flag in 2020, when the race ended under caution and was won by Takuma Sato as helpless Scott Dixon had to stay in line with no chance to try a late pass for the win. Since Penske’s first 500 as owner in 2020, both last year and this year have had late red flags to set up a race to the finish. In 107 years, the Indy 500 has ended under the yellow flag or red flag (for rain) just 19 times, but 10 of those endings have been since 2000. “We have a group that is certainly the officials of the track, and to me, we’ve said this before, I think all of you had said, we want to see a checkered flag, not a yellow flag.” The ‘energy drink’ part is surprisingly very ordinary to look at.“I had nothing to do with (the red flag), obviously,” Penske said. The multilayered outline is gone, while the background is substituted by a black spade-like shape. The letters are much sounder geometrically, although still reminiscent of knives. On the drinks themselves, the emblem is a bit softer. The only other visual element is the ‘Energy Drink’ inscription in much the same style as the main part.

It’s then placed onto a square background of a dark grey color. The text is outlined in black and then in a thinner red layer, and an even slimmer white one. In short, they are tall, thin, strewn all over the canvas and curved upwards from the bottom.

The brand’s logo features its own name written in metal-colored letters and with the same appearance as sharp metal blades.
