INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Marcus Armstong’s No. 11 Honda-powered car will come with all the usual trimmings for this weekend’s Indianapolis Grand Prix — speed, sponsors and a shiny new paint job.

The second-year driver also will be carrying a message of hope.

Chip Ganassi Racing announced Thursday that it has partnered with the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center and Schwartz Partners to field a crimson-and-cream, scientifically-based paint scheme that pays tribute to cancer patients.

“We were, just as a family, wanting to bring awareness to the center that doctor (Kelvin Lee) is a part of and as a community, how fortunate we are to have a facility like this,” said John Schwartz, the general manager of the family’s company. “We want to make sure people understand what we really have here.”

It’s a message that hits home for Ganassi’s team and the 23-year-old driver from New Zealand, who made 12 starts last season.
