Story By: ANNE FORNORO / AJ FOYT RACING – WALLER, TX – Phoenix Investors will be the primary marketing partner on the No. 14 Chevrolet for the next two race weekends which includes the BitNile.com Grand Prix of Portland and the Hy-Vee doubleheader in Milwaukee.
“It’s thrilling to be part of the IndyCar energy and culture,” said Phoenix Investors Chairman & Founder Frank Crivello. “We’re excited to watch No. 14 on the track!”
Taking its name from Greco-Roman mythology of the phoenix rising from its ashes, the Milwaukee-based real estate developer revitalizes former manufacturing facilities throughout the United States.
A longtime personal sponsor of No. 14 driver Santino Ferrucci, Phoenix Investors is becoming the primary sponsor of an Indy car for the first time and the resulting livery of black, yellow-gold, and white featuring the Phoenix Investors logo is striking.
“I’m super excited to have Phoenix Investors on the car because they’ve been a terrific personal sponsor of mine for quite some time now,” Ferrucci said. “It’s going to be an incredible opportunity for them to enjoy a full livery. And I’m very excited about the races that we have coming up because I think we can deliver a really good result. The livery is really beautiful. I love keeping the 14 car primarily black, but the yellow-gold accents maintain its elegance. Honestly, it’s just a cool-looking car.”
AJ Foyt Racing Team President Larry Foyt echoed Ferrucci’s sentiments saying, “I’m thrilled to have Phoenix Investors take on a larger role on the 14 car for the Portland and Milwaukee races. The livery is beautiful and I’m really proud of the design. They are a great company doing amazing things in their space. We will do our best to get the Phoenix car towards the front of the field.”
This weekend’s BitNile.com Grand Prix of Portland will be broadcast on the USA Network Sunday starting at 3 p.m. ET. Friday’s practice and Saturday’s practices and qualifying sessions will be streamed on Peacock.
