In a thrilling turn of events, a trio of powerhouse sponsors is set to make a splash at the upcoming Long Beach races, injecting a dose of excitement and anticipation into the IndyCar scene.
Kicking off the lineup is the reunion of Conor Daly and the esteemed pharmaceutical company Mannkind at Juncos Hollinger Racing. The No. 76 Chevy will proudly sport Mannkind’s cheeky messaging on its sidepods at multiple races throughout the season, starting with the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach and continuing at Detroit and World Wide Technology Raceway. Daly expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I’ve learned so much from a lot of the folks there and we have been able to tell an incredible story.”
Meanwhile, Meyer Shank Racing is gearing up for a change in livery at Long Beach with the continued backing of Marcus Armstrong by insurance company Root. Armstrong’s No. 66 Honda will prominently display Root’s branding, with the partnership extending to races in Detroit, Laguna Seca, and Nashville Speedway. Armstrong shared his excitement, reminiscing about his first-ever IndyCar podium with Root on the car in Detroit last year and expressing hope for further success this season.
Adding a unique flair to the mix is California’s Nolan Siegel, who will showcase a circuit board-themed design from semiconductor sponsor onsemi at Long Beach. The No. 6 Chevy will stand out on the track, with Arrow McLaren team principal Tony Kanaan emphasizing the significance of the partnership with onsemi for the upcoming race weekend.
As anticipation builds for the action-packed Long Beach event, fans can look forward to an electrifying display both on and off the track, with these new sponsorships adding an extra layer of intrigue to an already thrilling season of IndyCar racing.
