Buddy Lazier

Quiznos, a quick-service restaurant chain serving toasted sub, will be primary sponsor of 1996 Indianapolis 500 winner Buddy Lazier during the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500.

Lazier will wheel the No. 4 Quiznos Lazier Burns Racing Chevrolet in his 19th Indianapolis 500.

“As a restaurant brand born in Colorado, we are proud to support one of our own on this national stage," said Susan Lintonsmith, Quiznos global chief marketing officer. “Buddy’s hometown pride runs deep and his legacy on the track is unprecedented. We look forward to cheering him on from Denver this weekend."

Quiznos was founded in 1981 by chefs who discovered that toasting brought out the best in every sandwich ingredient. Quiznos has locations across the United States and 34 countries.

“I am beyond thrilled to represent Quiznos in the Indianapolis 500," said Lazier. “For Quiznos to also be from Colorado is a true thrill for me to share this historic weekend with."
