VICS: Spencer Pigot to Receive Sponsorship from Bandit Industries Incorporated

Did you hear Spencer Pigot is going to become a bandit?

Okay, so maybe that’s not quite what the news is, but rather the fact that Bandit Industries is going to be an associate sponsor on Spencer Pigot’s No. 16 Honda for the Augie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis and the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil.

“We are thrilled to welcome Bandit Industries to the race team as their first entry into the Verizon IndyCar Series,” said Bobby Rahal, co-owner of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing with former late night talk show host David Letterman and Mi-Jack co-owner Mike Lanigan. “Bandit equipment is well known throughout the wood processing industry for superior quality and longevity, two traits we strive to emulate across our racing organization.”

Pigot will be making his second and third career IndyCar starts driving for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing after winning the Pro Mazda Championship in 2014 and the Indy Lights Championship last season. In his IndyCar debut at St. Petersburg, he finished 14th.

Bandit Industries Incorporated is the premier global manufacture of industrial wood chippers and wood processing equipment.

“Racing at Indianapolis is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time, not just for our employees but also for customers and our entire mid-Michigan community,” said Bandit Industries Marketing Manager Aaron Sorrels. “Having the opportunity to race with such an accomplished team is something special, and Spencer is one of the brightest young stars in all of motorsports. We are very proud to represent our employees, our community, our customers, and all the Bandit racing fans around the world at this historic 100^th running of the Indy 500.”
