Mouser launched its third IZOD IndyCar season with Kanaan behind the wheel of the #11 IndyCar at the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. The company first sponsored IndyCar in 2011 as an innovative way to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the newest technologies and how they impact the high-tech world of IndyCar racing.
Since every advanced, sophisticated component that goes into an IndyCar is all about precision and gaining a performance edge out on the track, IndyCar provides the perfect vehicle to build top-of-mind awareness for Mouser and its industry-leading manufacturers.
"It’s been so exciting to watch Tony drive the #11 IndyCar so far this season. He pushes hard every race and never gives up. He is such a talented driver and is definitely due for a win this season,” McAtee added.
The 2013 IZOD IndyCar series features 19 races. The series travels to Mouser’s backyard on June 8 for the Firestone 500 at the Texas Motor Speedway. Kanaan finished 5th last year at the TMS. For the latest updates on the 2013 season, visit http://www.mouser.com/indy/.
