Ed Carpenter Racing has unveiled new liveries for all three of its cars for the upcoming NTT IndyCar Series season.
The designs are very similar, with a striking gold color on the front half of the car, splashed over dark blue for Conor Daly’s car and white for Rinus VeeKay’s entry. Ed Carpenter, who is only scheduled to run the season’s oval races, will have the same scheme with black on the back half.
Bitnile, which came onboard with the team last year, is now the primary sponsor on all three cars and is labeled as a team partner in the release.
The company has not been immune to the recent trend of value loss for nearly all cryptocurrency-related companies, but still appears to be fully invested in the team for at least the near future.
“We are excited to confirm BITNILE.COM as our team partner and unveil our new paint schemes,” Carpenter said.
“Conor Daly and Rinus VeeKay are both very talented drivers who bring a wealth of experience to our team. As for the No. 33 BITNILE.COM entry, I am excited to be back behind the wheel for the oval races, which will include my 20th Indianapolis 500.”
The release confirmed that Carpenter will be running the season’s five oval races in 2023, which mirrors what he has done for the past nine seasons.
The new liveries will be on track for the IndyCar open test session starting on Thursday, as the two full time drivers get back in the groove ahead of the season’s first race on March 5 in St. Petersburg.
