The car piloted by Rinus VeeKay in the 2025 season will feature a predominantly white livery with blue accents, along with askROI’s mascot robot on the side pods and front wing. This sponsorship deal will cover all 17 races of the season, providing much-needed funding for Dale Coyne Racing (DCR) as costs rise due to the series’ new hybrid system and other factors. Team owner Dale Coyne emphasized the importance of partnering with askROI for a small business like theirs, stating that askROI’s AI support allows them to compete with larger organizations effectively. With Rinus VeeKay driving and askROI’s backing, DCR is looking forward to a competitive season ahead. Todd Ault, Chairman and CEO of askROI, has a history of sponsoring IndyCar teams, having previously sponsored Ed Carpenter Racing for three seasons before switching to support VeeKay at DCR. In addition to VeeKay’s car, DCR’s second entry (#51) will be sponsored by Abel Construction, with both new sponsorships set to debut at the upcoming Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
