INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Penske Entertainment Corp. and Gainbridge on Thursday announced a contract extension in which the financial company will remain the presenting sponsor of the Indianapolis 500.
Both sides said only it was a multi-year sponsorship agreement and did not disclose terms of the deal.
Partnering with the Indianapolis 500 is a natural fit for Gainbridge, reflecting our shared commitment to success, innovation and making every second count, said Dan Towriss, president of Group 1001, the holding company of Gainbridge.
The Indianapolis 500 holds special significance to Hoosiers and fans across the world. Were excited for this next chapter in our partnership and honored to celebrate the skilled drivers and the dedicated fans.
Towriss is also the owner of Andretti Global, which competes in IndyCar and other motorsports series. Hes also head of the Cadillac F1 team that will make its Formula 1 debut next season.
Gainbridge signed on as title sponsor of the Indy 500 in 2019 and its logo is featured on the bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the checkered and green flags, the Pagoda, the winners wreath, the famed oval and Victory Podium.
The 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for May 24, 2026, and the race is coming off a sellout that allowed a rare blackout of the local broadcast coverage.
Our partnership with Gainbridge aligns two brands with a shared passion for growth and world class customer experience, said Mark Miles, the president and CEO of Penske Entertainment. Renewing this relationship with a multi-year agreement showcases the strength and continued relevance of the Indy 500, an iconic event with the perfect entitlement partner to fuel a momentous future.

印第安纳波利斯（美联社）——潘世奇娱乐公司（Penske Entertainment Corp.）与盖恩布里奇（Gainbridge）周四宣布续签协议，这家金融公司将延续作为印第安纳波利斯500大赛的首席赞助商。
双方仅表示这是一份多年期赞助协议，但未透露具体条款。
盖恩布里奇（Gainbridge）母公司Group 1001的总裁丹·托里斯（Dan Towriss）表示：“与印第安纳波利斯500赛事合作对盖恩布里奇而言是水到渠成，这体现了我们对成功、创新以及分秒必争的共同追求。”
印第安纳波利斯500大赛对印第安纳州居民乃至全球车迷而言都具有特殊意义。我们为合作伙伴关系开启新篇章感到振奋，并深感荣幸能与技艺精湛的车手和忠实的粉丝共同庆祝这一盛事。
托里斯（Towriss）还是安德雷蒂环球（Andretti Global）的拥有者，该车队参加印地赛车（IndyCar）及其他赛车系列赛。同时，他也是凯迪拉克F1车队的负责人，该车队将于下赛季首次亮相世界一级方程式锦标赛（Formula 1）。
盖恩布里奇公司于2019年成为印第安纳波利斯500大赛的冠名赞助商，其标志出现在印第安纳波利斯赛车场的砖墙上、方格旗与绿旗、赛事指挥塔、冠军花环、著名的椭圆形赛道以及胜利领奖台上。
第110届印第安纳波利斯500英里大奖赛定于2026年5月24日举行。由于门票售罄，赛事方罕见地切断了当地电视转播信号。
潘世奇娱乐公司总裁兼首席执行官马克·迈尔斯表示：“我们与Gainbridge的合作将两个品牌凝聚在一起，双方都对业务增长和打造世界级客户体验充满热情。通过签署多年协议延续这一合作关系，彰显了印第安纳波利斯500大赛的持久影响力与时代价值——这项标志性赛事与冠名合作伙伴的完美结合，必将为未来创造非凡成就。”
