Wienerschnitzel announced its sponsorship of American race car driver J.R. Hildebrand for the 2015 Indianapolis 500. Hildebrand will display Wienerschnitzel’s logo on his helmet during the race, where he’ll drive the No. 6 car for Indianapolis-based CHF Racing, as part of the endorsement. This will be Hildebrand’s fifth Indy 500 start, according to a Wienerschnitzel press release.

"I’m pumped to get back on track at Indy this year, and to have Wienerschnitzel on board for the ride," said Hildebrand in a statement. "Seeing what they’ve done in Supercross and in the racing world has been really cool, so it’s exciting to be part of their motorsports family."

The Indy 500 is televised in more than 200 countries, reaching an audience of more than 344 million. The sponsorship is the latest in Wienerschnitzel’s strategic alignment with heavy hitters in the motorsports world, the company said.
The Indianapolis 500 will air live on Sunday, May 24, on ABC at 11:00 a.m. EST.
