“It’s every driver’s dream to be at the Indianapolis 500,” Tagliani said. “As a kid I never thought I would make it here and even later on in my career because of the split, so it has always remained a dream of mine. It’s the one race that has always sat atop my list.”
“Finally, more than nine years after my first start in a major open-wheel series race, I will get to experience all that surrounds the famous ‘Month of May,’ and get to experience it during the kick off of the Centennial Era Celebration, which makes it even more memorable. I know that the first few laps around the track tomorrow will be quite special, and I’m super-excited and really looking forward to it.”
Sponsorship and the livery for the No.34 Conquest entry will be unveiled Tuesday, May 5 at IMS. Indianapolis Motor Speedway
