Mouser Molex to sponsor Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser Sullivan

Bourdais' Mouser/Molex sponsored car

Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan announced today that Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, will once again sponsor the team throughout the entire 2019 NTT IndyCar Series. Joining Mouser in the sponsorship is valued supplier Molex.

The 17-race season kicks off March 10 in Florida at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, and includes the 103rd running of the famed Indianapolis 500, set for May 26.

Sebastien Bourdais returns as pilot of the Mouser/Molex-sponsored No. 18 IndyCar. Bourdais, who won the St. Pete race in both 2017 and 2018, and finished seventh in the final standings last year on the strength of eight top-10 finishes with five top-five showings and two podium performances, is the only driver to win four consecutive IndyCar championships (2004-2007).

“I have had the opportunity to spent time with the Mouser team members in Texas and can honestly say I was very much impressed with their people and operation," said Bourdais. “Mouser, Molex and the Dale Coyne Vasser Sullivan team are identical in our pursuits of both speed and excellence, that’s what makes this partnership work," Bourdais noted.

Todd McAtee, Mouser Electronics’ Vice President, Americas Business Development said, “Bourdais and the entire team showed incredible tenacity in every race last season and, given his track record at St. Pete, we could be off to a powerful start again this season."

“Molex is excited to team up with Mouser to sponsor the No. 18 car," said Fred Bell, Vice President of Global Distribution for Molex. “As a leading provider of integrated electronic solutions, Molex excels in providing components for challenging automotive applications. Our sponsorship gives us the opportunity to further demonstrate our commitment to developing products that help advance the automotive industry."

Mouser first sponsored IndyCar racing in 2011 as a way to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the newest technologies. The Mouser-sponsored car won the Indianapolis 500 in 2013. After St. Pete, the series travels to the IndyCar Classic at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, on March 24, followed by 14 other races before the finale at Monterey, Calif. in September.
