I was going through photos with a neighbor yesterday, taken at Road America circa 1984. Penske car in red/white Miller livery but I couldn't identify the year or the driver. Did Penske have Miller sponsorship prior to Sullivan in 1985? Who was the sponsor on Al Unser's car in 1983-4?

From what I've found scouring the interweb, Penske had a bright yellow livery for both Rick Mears and Al Unser in 1983. Mears' car had Pennzoil on the side pode and Unser had Hertz.

Al Unser



In '84 a red and white Miller livery appeared on Al Unser's car though it is different from the one that was on Danny Sullivan's car.
