INDYCAR announced today during the North American International Auto Show that global information technology and communications leader NTT has signed a multiyear agreement to become the IndyCar Series title partner. In addition, NTT becomes the official technology partner of INDYCAR, the IndyCar Series, Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS), the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR's Brickyard 400 beginning in 2019.
INDYCAR will partner with NTT to deliver digital innovations that enhance the fan experience, which includes the evolution of INDYCAR's mobile application and the adoption of NTT's proprietary Smart Platform to support the sport and its venues in delivering better insights into the racing series.
"Having a strong technology partner is critically important to INDYCAR's continued growth, so we are thrilled to welcome NTT as our new title sponsor. INDYCAR's rise in popularity is a testament to the fact that we've made the sport as accessible as possible to our fans and we plan to continue in that mission," said Mark Miles, president and CEO of Hulman & Company, which owns INDYCAR and Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "We have a history with NTT through NTT DATA's involvement in the sport with Chip Ganassi Racing. We know this partnership will help us attract the next generation of fans to what remains the most competitive racing program on the planet."
Now known as the NTT IndyCar Series, the series is regarded as one of the quickest, most diverse and challenging racing programs in the motorsports arena today. The series competes on permanent road courses, temporary street circuits, short ovals and superspeedway ovals, including the iconic IMS.
The 2019 NTT IndyCar Series season features 17 races, starting with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 10, and later including the 103rd Indianapolis 500 on May 26 and concluding with the INDYCAR Grand Prix of Monterey on September 22.
