MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Verizon has entered a multi-year extension of the company’s longtime sponsorship of Team Penske and championship driver Will Power in the NTT IndyCar Series.
Verizon will continue as the primary sponsor of Power and the No. 12 Team Penske Chevrolet for all 17 races this season.
The Verizon colors first adorned the No. 12 Team Penske Chevrolet in 2009 as Power competed in select IndyCar races during his first season with Team Penske. The technology, communications, information and entertainment leader has remained the primary sponsor of Power throughout his 15-year career with Team Penske.
“Verizon has been a great partner of Team Penske since our first season together in 2009,” said team owner Roger Penske. “With their commitment to cutting-edge technology and performance, Verizon has been an integral part of our success in Indy car competition and the company continues to deliver for our team and for the IndyCar Series. We are excited to build on our success together for the future.”
Power continues to rise through the ranks of the all-time greatest drivers in the seriesas he enters his 15th season as part of the Team Penske lineup. After winning races at a prodigious clip early in his career, the Toowoomba, Australia native captured his first series title in 2014. In 2018, he became the first Australian to win the Indianapolis 500. Last year, Power earned his second series championship.
“Very few drivers are lucky enough to have the support of one partner for as long as I’ve had the opportunity to work with Verizon,” said Power. “They have been instrumental in my career – a career that would likely have looked much different without them. I still have things I want to accomplish, and I look forward to representing them and bringing the Verizon Chevy back to the winner’s circle.”
