  • Mouser and Molex-Sponsored Driver Bourdais Scores Second Consecutive Fast 9 Start at Legendary Indy 500
    US Headquarters 1000 N. Main Street, Mansfield, TX 76063, USA (817) 804-3800 Main www.mouser.com For Immediate Release Mouser and Molex-Sponsored Driver Bourdais Scores Second Consecutive Fast 9 Start at Legendary Indy 500 May 23, 2019 – Mouser Electronics, Inc. will be rooting for Sebastien Bourdais and the Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan team as they put their grit and bold strategy to the test at the 103rd running of the famed Indianapolis 500 on May 26. In qualifications, Bourdais pushed the Mouser-sponsored No. 18 car to earn a spot in the Fast Nine shootout, where he averaged 228.621 miles per hour to move up to a seventh-position start at Sunday’s race. Mouser is proud to again team up with valued supplier Molex to sponsor Bourdais and the Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan team for the 2019 NTT IndyCar Series. The Mouser- and Molex-sponsored car won the Indianapolis 500 in 2013, with Tony Kanaan behind the wheel. The global electronic component distributor first sponsored IndyCar racing in 2011 as an inventive way to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the newest technologies. Behind the wheel of the Mouser- and Molex-sponsored No. 18 car, Bourdais has two top-five finishes in just five races so far this season, earning him the No. 8 spot on the points standings. The four-time Indy CART champion is just 21 points out of the top five, and Indy 500’s double points system could be just the boost he needs. After the Indianapolis 500, the series travels to Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix doubleheader on June 1 and 2, DXC Technology 600 at Texas Motor Speedway on June 8, plus seven more races before ending the season at the Grand Prix of Monterey on September 22.

In Mazda, we’ve found a partner that not only has a history of nurturing such drivers, but also shares our desire to groom the future stars of INDYCAR racing through its commitment of providing driver scholarships.
