Andretti received major sponsorship backing from MAPEI facilitating his entry this year, with the brand featured on the side of his car during the 2025 iteration of the race.

“Our partnership with MAPEI over the 2024 season was such an excellent addition to our Andretti IndyCar program,” Doug Bresnahan, Chief Commercial Officer at Andretti Global said.

“The constant of the MAPEI brand on Kyle Kirkwood’s #27 throughout the full season paired with MAPEI’s increased presence as the primary partner for Marco Andretti’s #98 at the 2024 Indianapolis 500 was the perfect way for our team to expose a new partner to all the great opportunities the NTT IndyCar Series has to offer, and we are honored to have MAPEI back on board in 2025 for what is sure be another exciting season.”
