"Truscelli Team Racing is very excited to work with Johnny Unser as its driver for this year's Indy 500," said Truscelli, who has fielded drivers Roberto Moreno and Jaques Lazier in past Indy Racing Northern Light Series events, "We believe in Johnny and intend to give him a competitive opportunity. It's a great feeling to know that we have the same crew that we have had for the last two Indy 500s, and these guys are good."
Unser, the son of the late Jerry Unser, has competed in the 'Greatest Spectacle in Racing' five times, with a best finish of 18th in 1997.
"Truscelli Team Racing demonstrates an impressive history and a quest for excellence at the Speedway," he said, "It is a focused, capable group that is providing me with a first-class opportunity to successfully compete in this event."
