Jarett Andretti to Race USAC Silver Crown and Sprint Car Schedule Window World Continues Primary Sponsorship of 2015 Events INDIANAPOLIS, IND. (February 18, 2015) – Andretti Autosport Short Track announced Window World® will return as a primary sponsor of driver Jarett Andretti for the 2015 season. The team will enter a Window World car in 17 United States Auto Club (USAC) Sprint Car races and also the complete Silver Crown pavement schedule. Today’s announcement continues to define Andretti’s 2015 season, which will include over 50 races across the country in Sprint Car and Silver Crown competition. Window World, a longtime friend of Andretti racing, has supported Jarett throughout his young career, including last year when he captured the 2014 USAC National Sprint Car Rookie of The Year title. “Window World is not only a partner of our team, but also great friends to our family,” said Jarett. “Last year they really helped me with the opportunity to compete in the Silver Crown Series and that was great experience. I feel that I can do a lot more this year.” “Our Sprint Car program is coming along nicely,” continued Andretti. “We’re getting ready to head to Florida next week to start our season and Window World will again be a big part of our plans. We expect to win races this year and we’re all anxious to get going. We can’t do it without the support of Window World.” Window World has been involved with John and Jarett Andretti for many years and through multiple world class events, such as the Indianapolis 500, the Daytona 500 and the 24 Hours of Daytona race. They have been a partner of Jarett since the beginning of his career. "The Andrettis are an integral member of the Window World family,” said Chairman and CEO, Tammy Whitworth. “We are excited to continue this unique partnership with Jarett and look forward to providing Window World customers, their families and racing enthusiasts alike a memorable experience." Jarett, grandson of Aldo and son of John Andretti, has championships in go-karts and the USAC Eastern Ignite Pavement Midget Series.
