INDIANAPOLIS, May 13, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) today announced that
Spectrum, one of the nation's leading broadband connectivity
providers, will be the primary sponsor for the No. 66 Honda Indy
car driven by Marcus Armstrong for
the 109th Indianapolis 500 on
Sunday, May 25th.
Spectrum will also have placements on the No. 60 Honda Indy car
driven by Felix Rosenqvist and the
No. 06 Honda Indy car driven by four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves.
Armstrong will head into Indianapolis 500 practice this week with a
striking Spectrum blue livery on his car. With more than 31 million
customers across 41 states, Spectrum is the #1 TV provider in the
nation¹, with video packages geared towards sports fans and the top
streaming apps included at no extra cost. Spectrum's focus on
providing seamless entertainment and connectivity products –
including the nation's fastest and most reliable internet² – works
hand-in-hand with MSR's goals on and off track during the Month of
May.
"We're really excited to have Spectrum onboard with us for the
Indianapolis 500," said
Mike Shank, MSR Team Co-Owner. "It's
always special to align with a brand that shares our passion for
performance, precision, and pushing the limits. Having Spectrum
adds real momentum to our effort with Marcus [Armstrong], and we're proud to represent
their colors on the biggest stage in racing."
The collaboration will not only see Spectrum enter the
motorsports realm, but the national brand will be centerstage for
the country's largest attended single day sporting event, with
350,000 race fans present. Just like the Indy 500 tradition of
drinking milk in Victory Lane, Spectrum brings its own time-honored
tradition of exceptional service, speed, and reliability to
Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"The Indy 500 represents the pinnacle of speed and performance,
and that makes it the perfect stage for our brand," said
Sharon Peters, Executive Vice
President, Chief Marketing Officer for Spectrum. "As the provider
of the nation's fastest internet, we know what it takes to always
deliver at full throttle. Sponsoring these incredible race cars is
our way of showing up where speed matters most, and we cannot wait
to cheer MSR on at the Brickyard."
MSR will begin Indianapolis 500
practice starting on Tuesday, May
13th which will see the No. 66 Spectrum Honda take to the
track for the first time. The 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 is set for Sunday, May 25th with live coverage on FOX.
