Ivy Tech Community College will serve as a partner on the No. 8 Comfort Revolution/Big Machine Records Chevrolet of Sage Karam for the Indianapolis 500.
“The partnership with Ivy Tech and Sage is a great fit for us, highlighted by the connection between Sage’s age and that of Ivy Tech’s student body,” Chip Ganassi Racing Teams president Steve Lauletta said. “Ivy Tech’s reach and activation with Sage, combined with the team’s focus on millennials, makes for a great program for the No. 8 team during the Month of May.”
Karam, 20, of Nazareth, Pa., will be the centerpiece of a social/digital media campaign. The partnership also provides the Indiana-based community college a direct connection to the demographic of its student body, and specifically to automotive tech students with a look to the future of potential careers in motorsports.
On May 1, Karam threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Indianapolis Indians Triple-A game at Victory Field in Indianapolis. He completed a refresher test on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval May 3 and joined all cars for the practice.
