Shorai to Supply Batteries for Chip Ganassi Racing

Battery supplier Shorai Inc. has extended its strategic partnership with Chip Ganassi Racing Teams (CGRT) for the 2014 IndyCar Series and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS).

In NASCAR, CGRT fields the No. 1 team of Jamie McMurray and the No. 42 Team of Kyle Larson. McMurray has consistently been a top contender for both race wins and the NSCS Championship. This marks the third year that CGRT will use Shorai LFX batteries in all of their NSCS race cars.

“The ability for us to work with Chip Ganassi Racing Teams for another year is thrilling for everyone here at Shorai. We are confident in our batteries and their performance in NASCAR’s premier series and in power sports applications,” said Kevin Riley, Co-Founder and Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Shorai. “We know this will be another very successful year of NASCAR and INDYCAR racing for both Shorai and Chip Ganassi Racing.”

“I am very excited to know that Shorai LFX batteries will be supporting the entire Chip Ganassi Racing Teams organization that we will have the Shorai logo on our car at the Sonoma race as an associate sponsor,” said Jamie McMurray, driver of the No. 1 car for Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. “Our success last year using Shorai LFX is a testament to the quality and workmanship put into all of Shorai’s products both on and off the track. We fully expect to be even more successful this year using their products.”
