INDIANAPOLIS — KECO Coatings announced Wednesday that it will continue its longtime associate sponsorship agreement with Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports for two more years.
The sponsorship is one of the longest associations in the NTT IndyCar Series, as the Indianapolis-based provider of coating processes for high-performance industries has sponsored the team’s co-owner, Sam Schmidt, since he began his career as an IndyCar driver in 1997.
Under the renewed agreement, KECO Coatings’ logo will be displayed on the Dallaras of James Hinchcliffe and series rookie Marcus Ericsson.
The KECO logo will also be seen on Jack Harvey’s car at the 2019 Indianapolis 500 this May through a technical alliance Arrow SPM has with Meyer Shank Racing.
“Our association with the Arrow Schmidt Peterson NTT IndyCar team showcases KECO’s technology in action,” said Mike Klinge, president of KECO Coatings. “We are pleased to have Sam and his drivers represent us in this very competitive series and its premier event, the Indianapolis 500.”
KECO Coating’s logo will also be displayed on the Arrow SPM car of Robert Wickens should he be medically cleared to return to racing following a crash last year at Pocono Raceway.
