I can assure you, NASCAR had nothing to do with it. This is a re-engined GP40 with EMD's Tier-2 Emissions switch engine Demonstrator, referred to as GP68 in Ulmer.

Welcome to the forums Awesome. Why don't you update your profile, so we know where you're from?

 That appears to be a case of EMD advertising on a locomotive they themselves own. That's the demonstrator unit for the repower package isn't it?
