Ericsson to carry DKT Foundation colors for IndyCar race at Laguna Seca

Andretti Global has partnered with the DKY Foundation and will place the nonprofit’s branding on Marcus Ericsson’s No. 28 Honda for the season finale at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca across September 4-6.

Formed by Staci and Brian Inskeep, whose company InPwr was carried to pole position as the primary sponsor of Ericsson’s car at the Arlington Grand Prix, the DKY Foundation focuses on suicide prevention and overall support for mental health.

“The DKY Foundation is very meaningful to me,” Ericsson said. “Being part of the DKY Foundation and its mission to shine a spotlight on something that’s extremely important means a lot. Mental health is something I take a lot of pride in trying to help with in any way I can. Teaming up with the DKY Foundation has been a no-brainer for me, and the work Brian and Staci do is really inspiring. With September being Suicide Prevention Month, it will be even more meaningful to represent such an important cause and be able to spread the word through my platform in Laguna Seca.”

The Andretti team intends to integrate DKY’s services into the wellness program for its employees as part of the expanded relationship with the Inskeeps.

“We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to partner with Andretti Global and InPwr Inc. in our mission to raise awareness for suicide prevention in high-stress, high-demand occupations and communities,” Staci Inskeep said. “Suicide prevention has to become part of how we care for one another every single day and from the moment we approached the Andretti Partner Services team about joining our cause, we knew they were the perfect fit – they jumped in without hesitation, bringing genuine excitement, energy, and heart to everything they do.

“Having Marcus Ericsson’s support is truly the icing on the cake. We couldn’t have asked for a better team, and we can’t wait to see Marcus behind the wheel of the No. 28 Honda at Laguna Seca, proudly sporting the DKY Foundation livery.”
