Big Machine Records will sponsor four-time IndyCar Series and three-time Indianapolis 500 champion Dario Franchitti‘s No. 10 car for the second consecutive year at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 26. The Indianapolis 500 will air nationally on ABC at noon EST.
“The month of May is always about racing for me,” says Big Machine Label Group CEO Scott Borchetta. “For as long as I can remember, the buzz of the Indianapolis 500 has been ringing in my ears. I’m so thrilled that we once again get to join Dario Franchitti & Target Chip Ganassi Racing as Dario chases a fourth Indy crown on Sunday.”
The bittersweet weekend marks wins and losses for Borchetta, who was a sponsor (and friend) of the late Dan Wheldons winning car in 2011.
