Entering his 13th season in the series, the third-generation racer will fly the U.S. Concrete colors for the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach on April 15, INDYCAR Grand Prix on May 12, Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil on May 27, Texas Indy 600 on June 9, ABC Supply 500 at Pocono Raceway on Aug. 19 and the season-ending Grand Prix of Sonoma on Sept. 16.

“I’m really happy to welcome U.S. Concrete to the Verizon IndyCar Series and our Andretti family," said Michael Andretti, CEO of Andretti Autosport and Marco Andretti’s father. “U.S. Concrete is a leading brand in its industry, as is the Andretti brand in INDYCAR, so we are very excited about this partnership."

The announcement marks the first foray into INDYCAR racing for U.S. Concrete, a leader in concrete manufacturing and green building. Andrew Pinkerton, the company’s marketing communications manager, said the partnership with Andretti Autosport is an excellent fit with the brand.

“The legacy and strength of the Andretti team exemplifies the business units that make up the U.S. Concrete family and is an excellent platform to showcase what we offer," Pinkerton said. “Our partnership with Marco Andretti and Andretti Autosport is very exciting and we look forward to taking this partnership beyond the racetrack and integrating the Andrettis’ winning formula into our business."
