Okuma and Target Chip Ganassi Racing Renew Sponsorship

The multi-year sponsorship agreement for specific Indy cars means the auto racing team will continue to utilize Okuma CNC machine tools and technology in their machine shops to produce parts and equipment for their race cars.

CNC machine tool manufacturer Okuma America Corporation (Charlotte, NC) and Target Chip Ganassi Racing, Inc. (Pittsburgh, PA) have renewed their multi-year sponsorship agreement for the No. 9 and No. 10 Indy cars driven by Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti in the IZOD IndyCar Series and for the No. 01 Daytona Prototype driven by Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas in the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series.

The Indianapolis-based Chip Ganassi Racing teams utilize Okuma CNC machine tools and technology in their machine shop to produce parts and equipment that have contributed to 15 championships and more than 125 wins across Indy car and sports car racing.

Okuma president and chief operating officer Jim King noted, “We produce high precision, premium CNC machine tools used in a variety of industries. It’s only natural that we partner with a winning team like Chip Ganassi Racing. Their desire to improve performance by leveraging top-quality personnel and equipment parallels our business philosophy and we hope to help them win races and championships.”
