The partnership will showcase Abel’s Honda adorned in Miller Lite traditional blue
& gold colors, complete with a tribute to legendary brand pitchman and Milwaukee
Brewer’s HOF announcer Bob Uecker.

“We are so excited to be celebrating Miller Lite’s 50th anniversary with Jacob Abel at
the Milwaukee Mile,” said Ann Legan, vice president of marketing for Miller family of
brands. “To show up on track in the No. 50 car, in Miller Lite’s hometown, is an
honor and a tribute to all the fans who have made this beer what it is today.”

In addition, Abel will take it a step further, switching from his familiar No. 51 to a
stylized No. 50 entry to commemorate the key milestone achievement and
encouraging IndyCar fans to join in the ‘50 Years of Miller Time’ celebration.

“I’m honored and thrilled to have Miller Lite join us at the famed Milwaukee Mile,”
said NTT INDYCAR SERIES driver Jacob Abel. “I love the cool livery design and think
it’s only fitting this take place in Milwaukee – a place with such a long history for both
IndyCar racing and the Miller Lite brand.”

250 at the Milwaukee Mile oval on Sunday August 24. North America’s premier open-
