AirTran Airways welcomes Danica Patrick to Andretti-Green's line-up of Racing Stars
AirTran Airways, an official airline sponsor of Andretti-Green Racing, tips its wings today to congratulate IndyCar racing sensation Danica Patrick on her new partnership with the legendary IRL team. Patrick joined her newest crew members and AGR founding father, Michael Andretti, to announce her place on the racing team today in Chicago, just a few miles from her hometown of Roscoe, Illinois.
“AirTran Airways is excited to welcome Danica Patrick to Andretti-Green’s team of racing elite and is proud to sponsor her and the entire team as they drive toward a championship,” said Kevin Healy, AirTran Airways’ vice president of planning. “With our commitment to providing our customers with low-cost options across the country, Danica fans will have no problem watching their favorite driver as AirTran Airways offers service to most of the league’s exciting races, including Kansas City, Chicago, Milwaukee and Indianapolis.”
A sponsor of the racing team since May 2005, AirTran Airways will have logos emblazoned on Patrick’s car and uniform. Patrick, the Indy Racing League’s 2005 Rookie of the Year, will join new teammates Marco Andretti, Dario Franchitti, Bryan Herta, and Tony Kanaan at Victory Lane when the IRL’s 2007 season begins in the spring.
“This is a big day for everyone at Andretti Green,” said Michael Andretti. “We’ve really enjoyed our relationship with AirTran Airways and are thrilled to see it continuing in this manner with Danica.”
