(Photo by Brian Spurlock/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) 2022 Indianapolis 500 champion Marcus Ericsson still cannot stop re-living the moments that changed his life three years ago while competing for Chip Ganassi Racing. “It was hard to take in what happened because that race is our Super Bowl,” Ericsson said. “All my career, I worked to win that specific race. When that happens, it’s actually hard to take in that it’s actually happening. It was unreal.” A year later, still competing for Ganassi, Ericsson came up just short of winning back-to-back Indy 500s, finishing second to Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden. Newgarden is entering Indianapolis this month with hopes of winning three straight 500s. Now, Ericsson is motivated to win the NTT IndyCar Series’ biggest race for the second time. He’s now competing for Andretti Global, which was owned by Michael Andretti until he sold it to Dan Towriss and TWG Global over the offseason. The team is now preparing to enter Formula 1 with the Cadillac Formula 1 team in 2026. Ericsson competed in Formula 1 full time from 2014 through 2018. Ericsson will be sporting a new hot rod throughout May. Andretti Global announced on Tuesday that his No. 28 entry will be sponsored by Allegra, just as allergy season is kicking into high gear. IndyCar driver Marcus Ericsson signed a new partnership with Allegra ahead of the Indianapolis 500. “We’re here to win and being a past winner, I know what it feels like to win this race,” Ericsson said of the Indianapolis 500. “It would mean so much to me. There’s not a lot of multiple winners of this race. If I can win another one, it’s all I want and what I’ve worked towards. “Having Allegra on board this year, it’s going to be fun to represent them at the speedway. Having allergies and suffering from that, this partnership is a natural fit.” Allegra will have several activations throughout the entire month. There will even be a game for fans to play. The Allegra Pit Shop will be a real-time, reaction-based challenge for fans to scan QR codes on the backs of the No. 28 team’s pit crew to win prizes. The No. 28 is attempting to turn things around after a difficult 2024 campaign. Ericsson, who moved to the IndyCar Series in 2019, had a career-low average finish of 15.2 last year. Now, with a second year under his belt at Andretti Global, the duo is showing more raw speed, qualifying seventh or better in three of the first four races. “This season, we’ve had a lot of speed, but we haven’t had the results to show for it,” he said. “It’s been a bit of a frustrating start. Leading up to the Month of May, we’re hitting our stride and we’re working well together.” The Indianapolis 500 is on Sunday, May 25 at 12:45 p.m. on Fox.
