MAPEI Corporation is announcing its second year of partnership with Andretti Global for the upcoming 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season. The company says this collaboration builds on 2024’s inaugural year with a continued commitment to supporting two of the most dynamic drivers on the circuit – Kyle Kirkwood and Marco Andretti.
MAPEI will serve as the primary sponsor for the No. 98 car that will be driven by Andretti during the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 25, 2025. Additionally, MAPEI will continue its support of Kirkwood as he competes throughout the season in the No. 27 car, showcasing the MAPEI brand across 17 races.
“We are thrilled with the success of our first year in partnership with Andretti Global and the momentum we’ve built together,” said Luigi Di Geso, president and CEO of MAPEI North America. “As we head into our second year, the anticipation is even greater. Supporting Kyle Kirkwood throughout the season and seeing Marco Andretti return to the Indy 500 with MAPEI on board is a fantastic opportunity, and we look forward to what’s shaping up to be an exceptional year on the track.”
