“I feel really blessed to be able to represent a great partner
in XPEL so early in my career here in America,” said McLaughlin.
“XPEL is no stranger to Victory Lane – and we were so close to
winning at Texas last year – so the confidence of the No. 3 team
will be high when we return there in March. Winning for XPEL on
their home turf in the race that they sponsor would be one of the
biggest wins of my career.”
McLaughlin scored his career-best INDYCAR SERIES finish last
season at Texas when he produced a memorable second-place result in
his first career start on an oval track. The runner-up finish was
one of several solid performances for McLaughlin, as he became the
first Team Penske driver to win the series Rookie of the Year award
since its inception in 1979.
Team Penske welcomed XPEL to its partner lineup in 2020 as the
San Antonio-based company served as a primary sponsor on the No. 2
Chevrolet with driver Josef Newgarden over the last two INDYCAR
SERIES seasons. Last July, Newgarden drove the No. 2 XPEL Chevrolet
to Victory Lane in dominating fashion at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car
Course.
“We are excited to see Scott represent XPEL in the yellow and
black #3 Chevrolet this season,” said Robert Bezner, Vice
President, Brand at XPEL. “So much of our business success is
attributed to passionate brand representation by our global
installer network. That is the same spirit we see in Scott and we
are counting down the days until we join him in Victory Lane!”
The 2022 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season begins on Sunday, February 27
with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. With 14 out of 17
races on the 2022 series schedule broadcast on network television,
the season opener will be seen live on NBC.
