The tux500.com project has the goal of raising at least $25,000 to put the Linux logo on an Indy 500 car this year. The logo has already been put on the front of the car. Whether it stays there or not depends on whether they meet their goal. If they reach $350,000 then the whole team will be called Team Linux and the car will be completely sponsored by the Linux community. With only 20 days left to donate, here is the chance to show the power of the Linux community.

How would you like to tune into the Indy 500 and see the Linux penguin prominently displayed on a car. The Tux 500 project was started to raise enough money to sponsor an Indy 500 car this year in the name of Linux. If $25,000 is raised they will be an associate sponsor of the car, if they reach $350,000 then the whole car will have Linux all over it. The amount of visibility depends on the money raised. Overnight they passed $6000 and there is some good rivalry between the different distributions on the stats page. There is also a contest to determine a design for the car.
