“We’re excited to have Guaranteed Rate as the primary sponsor on Alex Palou’s car for this weekend’s Indianapolis 500,” expressed Team Owner Dale Coyne. “As an Illinois-based team we’re proud to be able to represent a Chicago-based national brand at the biggest race of the year. We hope to make them proud in return with a strong showing in Sunday’s race. Alex has done an amazing job so far and we look forward to seeing how he does tomorrow.”
