PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — Ed Carpenter Racing’s liveries this season will be fully engulfed with digital marketplace sponsor BitNile.
The team’s two full-time entries, the No. 20 of Conor Daly and the No. 21 of Rinus VeeKay, in addition to ovals-only No. 33 of Ed Carpenter, will each compete throughout the upcoming season with BitNile as the primary sponsor.
The new liveries feature metallic gold on the front of each car with an innovative transition in color to represent the evolution of digital marketplaces.
All three cars carry a cohesive look with Daly’s base color of blue, VeeKay’s featuring white and Carpenter’s car primarily black.
“The launch of our new next-generation marketplace is scheduled for March 1 to coincide with the start of the 2023 NTT IndyCar Series season,” stated Milton “Todd” Ault, III, BitNile.com’s Executive Chairman. “We believe that the demographics of the IndyCar fan base fit perfectly the intended target of BitNile.com, which has led us to become the one of the biggest team partners in the series and branding all three ECR cars this season.”
ECR team owner Carpenter will compete in the five oval races this season.
“We are excited to confirm BitNile.com as our team partner and unveil our new paint schemes.” Carpenter continued, “Conor Daly and Rinus VeeKay are both very talented drivers who bring a wealth of experience to our team. As for the No. 33 BitNile.com entry, I am excited to be back behind the wheel for the oval races, which will include my 20th Indianapolis 500.”
Team President Tim Broyles is confident the talent of the drivers, coupled with ECR’s continual preparation since the end of last season, will give the team a competitive edge.
“The entire team has worked tirelessly in the offseason to make sure our cars are at the forefront of performance,” said Broyles. “The new BitNile.com designs will make them stand out on the track.”
