IndyCar Extends Firestone Tire Partnership

Firestone will continue as the exclusive tire supplier for all NTT IndyCar Series races, including the Indianapolis 500, under a long-term extension announced by Bridgestone Americas and Penske Entertainment. This partnership, which has been in place for 25 years, reinforces Firestone's ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability in motorsports. Bridgestone has used this collaboration to test and develop new materials, such as those derived from hard-to-recycle plastics and palm oil waste. The announcement was made at Bridgestone's headquarters in Nashville, highlighting the brand's historical significance in racing since winning the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911. Both Bridgestone and Penske have expressed pride in this enduring partnership, which continues to set industry standards for performance and technological advancement.
