In an effort to promote the name change, Howard gave his 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat a custom “Flash” makeover, which included a superhero themed steering wheel, “Flash” logos all over the vehicle, a custom paint job, and a lighting system that shined the “Flash” logo whenever he opened the door.
