INDIANAPOLIS — Cummins Inc. and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway dropped the green flag on a sponsorship deal that honors their historic ties in auto racing, and celebrates the Columbus-based diesel engine and technology company’s centennial and future.
In the lobby of its Distribution Business headquarters in downtown Indianapolis, Cummins officials announced Wednesday morning a five-year sponsorship agreement with IMS, with the speedway’s top official, elected lawmakers and about 100 company employees in attendance.
Cummins Vice President and Chief Technical Officer said the agreement was a natural fit for two Hoosier-born organizations that have both led their industries for 100 or more years.
“It’s about a shared legacy and a vision for innovation,” Rumsey said.
And, it’s about Cummins raising its profile, she added, and the famed racing venue made sense.
“It’s important we have a presence at the IMS, and that people know every day we are innovating and developing new solutions to help our customers be successful,” Rumsey said.
