DALLAS – Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan announced Tuesday that SealMaster Paving Products will return as the primary sponsor of the No. 18 entry driven by Sebastien Bourdais.
“I think the SealMaster car is quickly becoming iconic within the IndyCar community and Dale, Jimmy and I are pumped to reveal it will be back and in full force this season,” said Vasser-Sullivan co-owner James Sullivan. “Fans will be able to experience the SealMaster car at the majority of the IndyCar races this season, and in addition we’ll have a few special liveries with some of our long-standing partners, which we’ll be unveiling soon.”
SealMaster, a leading manufacturer of pavement sealer and distributor of pavement maintenance products and equipment, was initially announced in 2018 as the co-primary partner of the newly formed Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan team.
The team quickly found success both on and off the track, prompting the recent announcement of a multi-year go forward plan by Dale Coyne, Jimmy Vasser and Sullivan, with Bourdais as the driver.
With the core group now together for the future, comes the extension and expansion of the SealMaster partnership.
“As a pavement maintenance supplier, our partnership with Dale Coyne Vasser-Sullivan has greatly increased SealMaster’s brand exposure among property owners,” said SealMaster Communications Director Debbie Petok Hufford. “Beyond that, Sebastien is an amazing driver and brand ambassador. The whole team is top notch.”
“We are expanding and building on what we all started last year, when SealMaster came on board,” Bourdais added. “With their support we have been able to build what is, in my opinion, a championship-caliber organization. I love driving Indy cars and representing SealMaster; they are a great company and a great partner. I just want to thank them for their support and look forward the seasons ahead.”
Bourdais is a four-time Indy car champion, claiming consecutive titles with the Champ Car World Series from 2004 to 2007, and has won at least one race for five straight years.
