Drivers Marco Andretti, James Hinchcliffe, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Carlos Munoz were on hand as Andretti Autosport unveiled the liveries of its four cars for the 2014 IndyCar Series season that begins March 30 with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
New primary sponsor Cinsay – an Austin, Texas-based social video commerce technology company — will be the primary sponsor on Munoz’s No. 34 entry that will be run as a joint effort between Andretti Autosport and HVM Racing. The No. 34 pays honor to the Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker, who is co-chairman of 34 Solutions, a company that is the licensed reseller of Cinsay’s Smart Store technology.
Also on the No. 34 Honda-powered car will be AndrettiTV.com — a new website where fans will be able to subscribe to exclusive live video access to Andretti Autosport’s headquarters, purchase official team merchandise and more.
Hunter-Reay, the 2012 IndyCar Series champion who ran No. 1 in the 2013 season, returns to the No. 28 with primary sponsorship from DHL.
Andretti’s No. 25 car will carry the blue and yellow of Snapple — a Dr Pepper Snapple Group beverage. It will be the fifth different Dr Pepper Snapple product that the Pennsylvania native has carried on his IndyCar. Hinchcliffe’s No. 27 car will carry the bright blue and white livery of United Fiber & Data, a tech company founded by three members of the multi-platinum rock band LIVE and their Think Loud Development company.
United Fiber & Data also will be a major associate sponsor on the Nos. 25 and 28 cars.
