FORT WORTH, Texas -- That little IndyCar team with a teenage driver has landed a big boost for the second half of the season.
Harding Steinbrenner Racing has secured a multimillion-dollar deal for Green Energy Sustainable Solutions Inc. (GESS) and Capstone Turbine Corp. to provide primary sponsorship for the rest of the season on the No. 88 Honda driven by 19-year-old rookie Colton Herta.
"To get those two companies to come aboard in-season with a multimillion-dollar commitment, which will certainly allow us to continue to participate for the rest of this year more comfortably than we were able to do anything last year, that makes you feel great," Harding Steinbrenner team president and former IndyCar executive Brian Barnhart said Friday.
