IRL: Ryan Hunter-Reay gets sponsorship for Iowa IndyCar race

By ,

Andretti Autosport has finalised arrangements with a couple of sponsors in order for Ryan Hunter-Reay to continue to race for the team for at least the Iowa round this weekend.

IZOD, the IndyCar series title sponsor, had backed Hunter-Reay through Texas, but the Andretti team had to work hard to find the financial resources to have the American back in the car.

Two producers of ethanol, ICM and Green Plains Renewable Energy, are on board for Iowa Corn 250 and the marketing staff at Andretti Autosport is working hard to secure the funding for the rest of the 2010 season.
