For Immediate Release:
Indianapolis (March 9, 2011) – OneAmerica executives announced today that they will team up with Andretti Autosport for the sixth consecutive year as a sponsor on two of the team’s cars throughout the 2011 Izod IndyCar Series. OneAmerica will again have a presence on the #26 car of Andretti Autosport driver Marco Andretti, and this year will add the #28 entry of Ryan Hunter-Reay. OneAmerica’s logo will be featured on both sides of the front wing on both cars.
“Marco’s racing skills and the Andretti name are what attracted us when he came into the series in 2006, and we have not been disappointed with his success,” said Brian Lauber, chief marketing officer for the OneAmerica companies. “Ryan is a great addition to the team, and we are proud to be riding with him in 2011. I think I speak for our 1,600 employees and more than 30,000 brokers and agents when I express our confidence that we’ll see both of them in the winner’s circle in 2011.”
OneAmerica has built a reputation as one of the strongest and most stable financial services enterprises in America. OneAmerica has backed Marco since his rookie season in 2006 and chose to add Hunter-Reay to their program after seeing his performance in 2010.
This morning, the OneAmerica tower in Downtown Indianapolis hosted the unveiling of the new #26 car driven by Marco Andretti. Executives from OneAmerica joined representatives from Andretti Autosport and other Indianapolis-based sponsors Bryant Heating and Cooling Systems and ExactTarget.
“OneAmerica is a tremendous sponsor for Andretti Autosport, and we’re thrilled to fly its company colors on the cars of Marco Andretti and Ryan Hunter-Reay this season,” said John Lopes senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Andretti Autosport. “OneAmerica shares our passion for all things ‘Indy’ including IndyCar racing and the Indianapolis 500. We’re looking forward to many more successful years together and not only consider them a teammate, but also a member of the Andretti Autosport family.”
