DEERFIELD BEACH, FL -- Mapei, a leading global manufacturer of adhesives, sealants, and chemical products for the building industry, proudly extends its best wishes to Marco Andretti and the Andretti Global team at the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500. This year’s race marks a major milestone for Andretti, as he takes the green flag for his 20th career start at the iconic event -- an achievement few drivers reach and a moment that makes this year’s race more meaningful. 

Andretti will be driving the No. 98 MAPEI/CURB Honda, with Mapei featured as the primary partner on the car. The design and partnership embody a shared legacy of performance, precision and passion for excellence. 

“Marco Andretti and the Andretti Global team represent the very best of motorsports -- dedication, innovation and a relentless pursuit of greatness,” said Luigi Di Geso, president and CEO of Mapei North America. “We are honored to celebrate Marco’s 20th Indianapolis 500 start with him, and  

we’re proud to see the Mapei name carried into racing history on the No. 98 Honda. We wish him the very best as he chases victory in this milestone year.” 

Andretti, reflecting on the moment, said, “It’s hard to believe this is my 20th Indy 500 and having Mapei return as my primary partner makes it that much more special. They’ve been an incredible partner, and the car looks amazing. I can’t wait to get back on track this month and represent the brand on racing’s biggest stage.” 

Mapei also extends its best wishes to Kyle Kirkwood, who will be piloting the No. 27 Siemens Honda, where Mapei is a featured partner, as well as to the entire Andretti Global team. As one of the most prestigious races in motorsports, the Indianapolis 500 is a true test of speed, strategy and spirit --and Mapei is proud to stand alongside its racing partners on this legendary stage.
