It's been revealed that Al Unser Jr will contest the forthcoming Indianapolis 500 in a Dallara-Honda painted in the colours of the Team USA A1 GP car, featuring the famous 'We The People' logo.
A1 Team USA is to join with auto-insurance giant Geico in funding the Dreyer & Reinbold prepared car.
Team USA finished sixteenth in the inaugural A1 GP series, having run Scott Speed, Bryan Herta and Phil Giebler, while the Laguna Seca event, thanks to the adverse weather conditions, was one of the most dramatic of the season.
It's hoped that the combination of the Indianapolis 500 together with Al Under Jr will give A1 GP racing a major boost in the United States.
