The Indianapolis Motor Speedway and longtime affiliate Chevrolet have announced an agreement on a multi-year extension of their partnership.

Key elements include:

Chevrolet will continue its role as an official sponsor of the Verizon IndyCar Series Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis, the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race and the Crown Royal presents the “Your Hero’s Name Here 400” at the Brickyard NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.

Chevrolet will also provide the official cars and trucks, along with official safety vehicles, for those three world-class IMS events, as well as providing the official pace car for each race.

“The Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Chevrolet have over a century of history together and we’re delighted with the opportunity to continue that rich heritage,” stated J. Douglas Boles, IMS president. “Race fans will see Chevrolets all over IMS during the month of May and also in July, where Chevy will continue to be the only car to ever lead the field at the Brickyard 400.”

“Chevrolet is extremely pleased to have the opportunity to continue its longstanding partnership with Indianapolis Motor Speedway,” said Jeff Chew, Chevrolet Racing’s manager of strategic planning and operations. “IMS has been a key partner of Chevrolet for many years. In addition to having a strong history of on-track achievement at IMS, Chevrolet has enjoyed significant off-track success interacting with the many passionate fans that visit the Speedway every year. For all of our Chevy teams and drivers, the strong Chevrolet presence at IMS makes a trip to victory lane even more special.”

The second annual Angie’s List Grand Prix will take place May 9, the 99th Indianapolis 500 will be held May 24 and the 22nd Crown Royal 400 at the Brickyard will be July 26.
