Not Ranked
TR.. they are called "team stripes" and usually appear on the drivers side.
The purpose was to easily tell apart the different cars of the same team during a race.. since usually all the cars were painted the same color. They really is no significance to the color and they are most often double-stripes...
...early 289s had one broad stripe from fender to fender.
