Amada America the Primary Sponsor of Takuma Sato’s Indy 500 Entry

Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLL) announced that two-time Indianapolis 500 champion Takuma Sato will return to the team for the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500, with machine-tool manufacturer Amada America, Inc. as the primary sponsor. The 2024 Indy 500, slated for May 26, will mark Sato’s 15th time participating in the race, and his sixth with RLL.

Amada was the primary sponsor of the team’s No. 30 entry at the Children’s of Alabama Indy Grand Prix on April 30, 2023; this will be Amada’s first time participating in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” It also will be a major associate sponsor of the No. 30 entry, driven by Pietro Fittipaldi for the 2024 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. 

Sato, a native of Tokyo, Japan, has made 220 starts in the Indycar Series since his rookie season in 2010. His Indycar highlights include wins in the 2017 and 2020 Indianapolis 500, 2013 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, 2018 Portland Grand Prix, 2019 Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama and Bommarito 500 at WWT Raceway, with four of the six coming with RLL.
