Yup, the red one is the "push car".
It was unveiled in Los Angeles the same day the silver one was unveiled in Detroit.

A buddy of mine went to the Brickyard as well. He knew the red car was a roller, so he got down and looked underneath it. Yep, it's still the roller

I saw the same red one today at the state fair. Me and my buddy were walking around and as soon as it caught my attention i dropped my drink and walked over. I was in awe.

The red one still looks better. They should have painted the silver one white, that would have looked a lot better.

I'd definately like to see those pictures you took. Was the car at the "Brickyard" for a photoshoot or just for people to check out?
