![]() |
INDIANAPOLIS, July 1, 2010: AFS Racing has become the co-entrant of Andretti Autosport's #27 IZOD IndyCar Series car, which will be driven by newcomer Adam Carroll at Watkins Glen International and at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
The AFS Racing/Andretti Autosport pairing has enjoyed success together in the past, having won the past two Firestone Indy Lights championships and is seeking an unprecedented third title in 2010 with another two-car effort. AFS/Andretti also joined forces for an IZOD IndyCar Series entry last season at Infineon Raceway for driver Franck Montagny.
Carroll, who dominated the 2009 A1GP World Cup of Motorsport season on the way to a series championship, will debut the entry this weekend at Watkins Glen under the banner of Team Boost Mobile. Carroll's season will then continue in early August with a drive at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in a car that will carry primary sponsorship from AFS, one of the nation's largest multi-family automatic fire sprinkler contractors.
Additionally, both Dr Pepper Snapple Group, with its Snapple brand, and Inland Industrial Services Group have joined the effort as associate sponsors of Carroll's upcoming races.
