  • For Immediate Release Mouser Electronics Gears up with Indycar Champion Tony Kanaan for Grand Prix at Long Beach
    1000 N. Main Street Mansfield, TX 76063, USA mouser.com (817) 804-3800 For Immediate Release Mouser Electronics Gears Up with IndyCar Champion Tony Kanaan for Grand Prix at Long Beach April 11, 2012 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., regarded as a top design engineering resource and global distributor for semiconductors and electronic components, today announced racing preparations are in top gear for the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, CA. where IndyCar champion Tony Kanaan will drive the No. 11 Mouser Electronics/GEICO/KV Racing Technology Chevrolet/Firestone IndyCar on April 15. The Long Beach race signals the green flag for Mouser as it launches into the 2012 IndyCar season. Mouser first set its sights on IndyCar sponsorship last year as an innovative way to communicate the company’s drive for high-performance and speed, and as a high-tech platform to showcase its valued supplier partnerships. Joining Mouser as co-sponsors are TTI, Inc, Murata, Molex, TE Connectivity, Phoenix Contact, Littelfuse, KEMET, Ohmite, Hammond, Harwin, Digi, ebm-papst, Omron, BIVAR, Fluke, and Amphenol. After a record- breaking 2011 debut, Mouser is eagerly racing into the new Indy season alongside its IndyCar partners and Kanaan in the driver’s seat. The infamous race spans 167 miles of adrenaline-filled track. Ever since its commencement in 1975, the track at Long Beach has seen decades of high-intensity, high-speed duels between some of the top names in IndyCar racing, such as the 1977 race where Mario Andretti avoided a first-lap, multi-car collision and went on to out-duel Formula One stars Jody Scheckter and Niki Lauda to become the first American to win a F/One race in a U.S.

  • JUAN PABLO MONTOYA World Famous Racing Driver
    JUAN PABLO MONTOYA World Famous Racing Driver Categorie Sports Type Leader & entrepeneur, Sporter & Sportcoach Inzetbaarheid Keynote speaker Talen EN, ES Afkomstig van Colombia Biografie Juan Pablo Montoya is a Colombian racing driver. He currently competes in the Verizon IndyCar Series driving for Team Penske. The highlights of his career include winning the International F3000 championship in 1998, and the CART FedEx Championship Series in 1999, as well as victories in some of the most prestigious races in the world, including the Indianapolis 500 (2000, 2015), Grand Prix of Monaco (2003), 24 Hours of Daytona (2007, 2008, 2013), British Grand Prix (2005), Italian Grand Prix (2001, 2005), Grand Prix of Long Beach (1999), and the Race of Champions (2017). In motorsport racing he has set an unmatched efficacy as a rookie driver by winning at the first attempt the premier North American open-wheel CART Championship title, Indianapolis 500, 24 Hours of Daytona, Grand Prix of Long Beach, Italian Grand Prix, and the cross over Race of Champions. Montoya is one of two drivers to 1 / 2 have won the CART title in his rookie year, the first being Formula One World Champion Nigel Mansell in 1993. He is the only active driver who has won two legs of the Triple Crown of Motorsport in its original definition. Montoya has also become a crossover race winner by winning races (starting in each case in his rookie year) in Formula One, CART, IRL, IndyCar, Grand-Am and NASCAR equaling in that respect Mario Andretti's caliber of success (except for the F1 World Championship); and shares honors as well with Dan Gurney in being a race winner in IndyCar, F1 and NASCAR.
