Acura livery for Ericsson in D.C.

Markham Grand Prix winner Marcus Ericsson will become the latest IndyCar Series driver to carry primary branding from Acura as the car maker takes over his No. 28 Andretti Global Honda for this weekend’s Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C.

The Honda sub-brand’s name has adorned both Meyer Shank Racing Hondas this season and migrates to Ericsson’s Andretti car for the first time.

“As Acura celebrates 40 years as an automaker in America, motorsports remains one of the purest expressions of our Precision Crafted Performance DNA,” said Hundy Liu, Acura’s marketing brand manager. “IndyCar provides an exciting platform to bring that performance story to life while connecting Acura with a growing and highly engaged fan base. Our Honda-powered teams have delivered some impressive performances this season, and we’re excited to see Marcus Ericsson and the entire Andretti Global team continue building on that momentum.”
