When you press the "Winner" plaque, it plays the Miami Vice theme music.

Good to see John Cusack get on the podium, as well.

Wasn't XM or Sirius a previous sponsor for the race? If so, it's prolly a legacy trophy. Heck, they couldn't even figger out how to merge series until ~6 weeks before the season opener. :shakehead :saywhat:

EDIT: XM was a race sponsor:

Another board said it was in reference to the Miami Sound Machine that had a concert b4 the race.

Seriously, would you put that trophy on your shelf? Even if it was for a really great event, something you really wanted to win.
