  • 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.

  • We Celebrate One of the Great Racing Car Constructors
    LOLA AT 60 WE CELEBRATE ONE OF THE GREAT RACING CAR CONSTRUCTORS Including FROM BROADLEY TO BIRRANE GREATEST CARS LOLA’S SECRET WEAPON THE AUDI CHALLENGER The success of the Mk1 sports-racer, usually powered by the Coventry Climax 1100cc FWA engine, brought Lola Cars into existence. It overshadowed the similar e orts of Lotus boss Colin Chapman and remained competitive for several seasons. We believe it is one of designer Eric Broadleyʼs greatest cars, so turn to page 16 to see what our resident racer made of the original prototype at Donington Park. Although the coupe is arguably more iconic, the open version of the T70 was more successful. Developed in 1965, the Group 7 machine could take a number of di erent V8 engines and was ideal for the inaugural Can-Am contest in ʼ66. Champion John Surtees, Dan Gurney and Mark Donohue won races during the campaign, while Surtees was the only non-McLaren winner in ʼ67. The big Lola remains a force in historic racing.

    For Immediate Release Contact: Kimberley Jackson Andretti Autosport (317) 872-2700, ext. 264 [email protected] ANDRETTI AUTOSPORT USF2000 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP NOTES AND QUOTES, PRE-RACE NEW JERSEY MOTORSPORTS PARK SAGE KARAM, #8 TEAM COMFORT REVOLUTION CAR "Mission accomplished. My goal heading into Iowa was to extend my championship points lead and to have Andretti Autosport winning the USF2000 National Championship team fight. So, we put it on pole and won the race. The #8 Team Comfort Revolution car was simply on rails. I am glad that Zach (Veach) could drive a damaged car to add to our team points lead. Michael (Andretti) and Marco (Andretti) watched my line in practice and immediately suggested adjustments. It really helped and I think it made the difference. Iowa was great, but New Jersey will be exciting because it's close to my hometown (Nazareth, Pa.), and we should have a lot of friends and relatives there. I'll train Monday through Wednesday for Jersey as I look forward to returning to the road courses." ZACH VEACH, #7 TEAM ADS CAR "Even though I didn't get the podium finish I was looking for after qualifying third, racing in Iowa will always mean a lot to me because of how much I learned moving through the field, which is what the Road to Indy is about-getting us young drivers the experience we need to move to the IZOD IndyCar Series. I am so thankful to be a part of this. I am really looking forward to New Jersey. New Jersey has hosted some great road races in the past.
