Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing announced Thursday that 5-hour ENERGY, which was previously announced as a full-season associate sponsor of the No. 30 entry for Pietro Fittipaldi for the 2024 NTT IndyCar Series season, will be the primary sponsor of the entry for the 108th running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 26 and the Detroit Grand Prix on June 2.
This will be the brand's debut as a primary sponsor in open-wheel racing.
Fittipaldi served as the Haas Formula 1 team’s reserve and test driver the past five seasons and is also a multiple open-wheel champion and race-winning world endurance championship driver. The Brazilian-American is the grandson of 1989 IndyCar champion and two-time Indy 500 winner Emerson Fittipald and will drive the No. 30 entry for his first full IndyCar season in 2024.
