ECR unveils Carpenter's Indy 500 color scheme

Ed Carpenter’s next attempt to win the Indianapolis 500 will take place from inside the No. 33 ECR Chevrolet featuring sponsorship from Slimfast, a company added to the business portfolio of ECR owner and chairman Ted Gelov.

“We’re proud to share Ed Carpenter’s No. 33 SlimFast entry for this year’s Indianapolis 500, a race that means so much to our team and our hometown," Gelov said. "With SlimFast joining Splenda and Java House on our cars this May, we’re excited to showcase our entire portfolio of iconic brands on the biggest stage in racing.”

The No. 33 entry will also promote AES Indiana, a retail electric service, and HATCH, which was named as the team’s official hunger relief partner.

“There is always so much motivation to win the Indianapolis 500, both for myself as a driver and for ECR as a whole,” Carpenter said.

“I’ve been fortunate to run this race many times now, but it means a little more every time you get the chance to compete in it. To represent SlimFast, AES Indiana, and many other Indiana partners is something I take a lot of pride in.”

This year's race will mark Carpenter's 23rd Indy 500 start. A three-time polesitter, his best finish to date is second at the 2018 edition of the event.
