The 2018 season marks the 23rd season of the IndyCar Series and
includes the 102nd running of the famed Indianapolis 500, set for
May 27. Sebastien Bourdais will once again be behind the wheel of
the Mouser- and Molex-sponsored No. 18 IndyCar. Bourdais won the
St. Pete race in 2017 with an impressive last-to-first performance
that earned him his 36th victory and put him at number six on the
IndyCar career victory list.
“We’re excited both as a sponsor and as fans for the new season
and to see Sebastien Bourdais back in the cockpit,” said Todd
McAtee, Mouser Electronics’ Vice President, Americas Business
Development. “Bourdais and the team showed incredible perseverance
last season. With the podium wins at St. Pete and Long Beach,
Bourdais showed us why he’s one of the best drivers in the league.
But he really proved his mettle when he came back from his serious
injuries to podium in two of the three last races of the
season.”
“Molex is proud to team up with Mouser to sponsor the No. 18
car,” said Fred Bell, Vice President of Global Distribution for
Molex. “As a leading provider of integrated electronic solutions,
Molex has a distinguished history of designing small-footprint,
high-performance interconnects that excel in challenging automotive
applications. Our sponsorship gives us the opportunity to further
demonstrate our commitment to developing products that help advance
the automotive industry.”
Mouser first sponsored IndyCar racing in 2011 as an inventive
way to communicate its performance-driven business model and
promote the newest technologies. The Mouser- and Molex-sponsored
car with Tony Kanaan at the wheel won the Indianapolis 500 in
2013.
After the season opener in St. Petersburg, the series continues
in Phoenix on April 7; Long Beach, Calif., on April 15; and
Birmingham, Ala., on April 22. To learn more, visit
