Devlin DeFrancesco’s livery for the upcoming Indianapolis 500 will be decided by an online vote.
The 25-year-old driver will have primary sponsorship from Dogecoin for the event, with the cryptocurrency group dictating the look for the #30 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing Honda this year.
DeFrancesco has been a supporter of Dogecoin for multiple seasons, but this is the first time it will serve as a major sponsor for him in the Indy 500.
“Super excited to have Dogecoin with me for the Indy 500!!” said DeFrancesco on social media. “My journey with Dogecoin started in 2020!! Excited to see what the future holds!
“I first invested in Dogecoin in 2020 and drove everyone crazy, telling anyone who would listen that they needed to own it. It’s not only my favorite crypto, but the plan to become a global currency and drive payment adoption is awesome.
“I’m pumped to be part of the community and an ambassador for the vision.”
There are three livery choices available for fans to choose from. Each has a brightly colored theme, and has the sponsor’s Shiba Inu mascot located in multiple locations across the car.
“Blaze” is the title of the first option, with yellow, orange, pink, and purple cascading down the car with blended transitions.
The second option features light purple and light blue, reminiscent of 1980’s styling. The “Turbowave” option has hard lines between the two colors in a more traditional layout.
The third option, titled “BananaBoost,” is similar to the second option but features bright yellow instead of purple and is paired with light blue.
Fans looking to vote on the designs will need to navigate to the dedicated indycar.dogecoin.com website and choose their favorite.
Results will be announced next week on March 26, giving the team enough time to properly prepare the car design ahead of Indy 500 running.
Open testing for the Indy 500 takes place on April 23-24, and the race itself takes place the following month on May 25.
