INDIANAPOLIS, April 7, 2011: Andretti Autosport announced today that its #27 entry driven by Mike Conway will race in support of Window World Cares at select IZOD IndyCar Series events in 2011, beginning with this weekend's race at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala.

Window World Cares is Window World Inc.'s charitable foundation used for donations, community outreach programs, and other benevolent events. Since its creation in 2008, Window World Cares is responsible for raising more than $1.6 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - enough to operate the hospital for one day.

Although it maintains a large focus on St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Window World Cares also helps sponsor the Veteran's Airlift Command, which provides free transportation to injured soldiers, veterans and their immediate families.

Conway, who is in his first season with Andretti Autosport, posted a career-best qualifying result of second at Barber in 2010 before driving to a ninth-place finish on race day.
