Cleveland-Cliffs Joins Helio Castroneves' Indianapolis 500 "Drive for 5"
Cleveland-Cliffs is the official steel partner for Indycar racing organization Meyer Shank Racing, and, this year, is now serving as primary sponsor of Helio Castroneves’ No. 06 MSR Indy car entry effort in addition to its presence on both full-season entries of Tom Blomqvist and Felix Rosenqvist.
Castroneves looks to once again make history in the No. 06 Cleveland-Cliffs Indy car and become the first driver in NTT INDYCAR SERIES history to win five Indianapolis 500s. Castroneves scored a record-tying fourth Indianapolis 500 victory with MSR in 202. The Brazilian racer joined AJ Foyt, Al Unser Sr. and Rick Mears as the only drivers in history to win the 500 four times.
“Cleveland-Cliffs is proud to partner with Meyer Shank Racing and Helio Castroneves as the team seeks Helio’s record setting fifth victory of the iconic American race," said Cleveland-Cliffs Chairman, President & CEO Lourenco Goncalves,"The racing world sets its eyes on Indiana every May for the Indianapolis 500 and having Helio drive the No. 6 Cleveland-Cliffs car will be an exciting moment for our Cliffs team members. The Indy 500 and steel have a long tradition in the state. Indiana is the largest steel producing state in the nation and we are proud to have over 9,000 employees in Indiana producing the best steel in the world. With Meyer Shank Racing, we celebrate teamwork, determination and hopefully soon a record setting fifth Indy 500 win for Helio.”
