Andretti Global, part of the TWG Motorsport Group of companies, announced on Tuesday, the opening day of practice for the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge, that 2022 Indianapolis 500 winner Marcus Ericsson will drive the No.28 Allegra® Andretti Global Honda in next Sunday’s Greatest Spectacle In Racing.
Using the adrenaline and precision of the Indianapolis 500 race, this innovative partnership will spotlight Allegra’s key benefit—non-drowsy allergy relief with 0% brain interference. To bring that message to life, Allegra will turn Ericsson’s pit stop into the Allegra Pit Shop: a real-time, reaction-based challenge that will invite fans to scan QR codes on the backs of the Allegra pit crew suits to claim prizes, including two tickets to an upcoming race. Fans can also practice their reaction speed ahead of the race by visiting www.allegra.com/en-us/PitShop to play Allegra’s No-Brainer Reaction Time Game. Players will unlock exclusive discounts on Allegra® products—helping them stay non-drowsy for the road ahead.
Allegrea® will make their NTT INDYCAR SERIES debut when the opening practice for the Indianapolis 500 gets underway this morning at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
SAMUEL MORISSE, VICE PRESIDENT, ALLERGY BRAND NORTH AMERICA ZONE HEAD
“Whether you’re navigating a pit stop or a packed freeway, allergy-related drowsiness slows you down. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Andretti and allergy sufferer, Marcus Ericsson, to spread the word that Allegra offers fast, powerful, non-drowsy allergy relief with 0% brain interference. It’s allergy relief that keeps you in control – it’s a No-Brainer!”
JILL GREGORY, PRESIDENT, ANDRETTI GLOBAL
“At Andretti, success comes down to sharp thinking, quick reaction times and total mental clarity, and that’s why Allegra is such a natural fit for our INDYCAR program. Allegra champions the characteristics that racing requires—and that everyday drivers deserve. Marcus is the perfect embodiment of that mindset. He’s calm under pressure, incredibly precise and brings a strategic sharpness to every lap. He understands better than anyone how staying non-drowsy can make all the difference, which is exactly what Allegra delivers for millions of people during allergy season.”
MARCUS ERICSSON, DRIVER OF THE NO. 28 ALLEGRA® HONDA, ANDRETTI GLOBAL
“As an allergy sufferer myself, I was obviously thrilled for Allegra to come on board for the Indianapolis 500. It’s so incredibly important for my pit crew and I to be sharp during the race, and with the help of Allegra’s non-drowsy relief with 0% brain interference, we’re able to do just that. We’re looking forward to hopefully getting Allegra to their first Victory Circle, and my second, on motorsports’ biggest stage in a few weeks.”
