INDIANAPOLIS, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) today announced that Spectrum, one of the nation’s leading broadband connectivity providers, will be the primary sponsor for the No. 66 Honda Indy car driven by Marcus Armstrong for the 109th Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 25th.

Spectrum will also have placements on the No. 60 Honda Indy car driven by Felix Rosenqvist and the No. 06 Honda Indy car driven by four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves.

Armstrong will head into Indianapolis 500 practice this week with a striking Spectrum blue livery on his car. With more than 31 million customers across 41 states, Spectrum is the #1 TV provider in the nation¹, with video packages geared towards sports fans and the top streaming apps included at no extra cost. Spectrum’s focus on providing seamless entertainment and connectivity products – including the nation’s fastest and most reliable internet² – works hand-in-hand with MSR’s goals on and off track during the Month of May.

“We’re really excited to have Spectrum onboard with us for the Indianapolis 500,” said Mike Shank, MSR Team Co-Owner. “It’s always special to align with a brand that shares our passion for performance, precision, and pushing the limits. Having Spectrum adds real momentum to our effort with Marcus [Armstrong], and we’re proud to represent their colors on the biggest stage in racing.”

The collaboration will not only see Spectrum enter the motorsports realm, but the national brand will be centerstage for the country’s largest attended single day sporting event, with 350,000 race fans present. Just like the Indy 500 tradition of drinking milk in Victory Lane, Spectrum brings its own time-honored tradition of exceptional service, speed, and reliability to Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

“The Indy 500 represents the pinnacle of speed and performance, and that makes it the perfect stage for our brand,” said Sharon Peters, Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer for Spectrum. “As the provider of the nation’s fastest internet, we know what it takes to always deliver at full throttle. Sponsoring these incredible race cars is our way of showing up where speed matters most, and we cannot wait to cheer MSR on at the Brickyard.”

MSR will begin Indianapolis 500 practice starting on Tuesday, May 13th which will see the No. 66 Spectrum Honda take to the track for the first time. The 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 is set for Sunday, May 25th with live coverage on FOX.

ebm-papst leveraged its 60+ years of rigorous R&D experience in air-moving technologies to launch two fan series engineered to help customers solve critical cooling challenges in the renewable energy industry. Both are now in stock at RS, providing customers with quick and easy access and proven technical support.

FORT WORTH, Texas, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — RS, a global product and service solutions provider for industrial customers, offers an extensive portfolio of ebm-papst fans engineered to maximize efficiency, significantly reduce power consumption, and minimize noise, including two new series optimized to help customers solve critical cooling challenges in the renewable energy industry.

The renewable energy industry is experiencing significant growth fueled by a combination of customer demands, climate concerns, and government initiatives. Electric vehicle (EV) sales, for instance, have soared, creating an increased need for the infrastructure required to support them. The number of EV charging ports in the U.S. grew from around 184,000 in 2023 to around 204,000 in 2024, representing a roughly 11% increase in publicly accessible medium-power and fast-charging technologies. In addition, the cumulative storage capacity of large-scale lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the U.S. surged from just 16 gigawatts (GW) in 2023 to a record-breaking 26.3GW in 2024, representing a roughly 64% increase.

EV charging stations and BESS generate a significant amount of heat and are continually evolving, incorporating new, more advanced components to drive increased performance. Unfortunately, the more electronic components there are in a system, the more heat those systems generate, and heat is the mortal enemy of electronics — slashing efficiencies, shortening product lifespans, and increasing the risk of failure.

As such, these systems rely on an assortment of thermal management technologies, including fans, a comparatively simple and cost-effective active cooling technology, to dissipate heat and maintain a safe operating temperature. A typical DC fast charger, for example, can contain as many as 20–25 small- to medium-sized axial fans in addition to higher pressure fans with backward curved impellers.

To satisfy the challenging thermal management demands of these and other densely populated electronic systems, ebm-papst leveraged its more than 60 years of rigorous research, design, and development experience in air-moving technologies to launch the high-performance AxiForce and W3G300–ME46 series fans — both of which are engineered to deliver high efficiency, low noise, and low vibration while remaining economically competitive.

ebm-papst AxiForce series fans have an innovative, aerodynamic housing and fan blade design that makes them both quieter and more energy efficient than their predecessors and competitors. Their steep air performance curve delivers maximum efficiency, which reduces power requirements and heat generation and extends their lifespan, and their small form factors support installation flexibility and broad application suitability. In addition to a high cooling capacity, AxiForce series compact tubeaxial fans provide an acoustic noise advantage of up to 6dB(A), environmental protection up to IP68, and the ability to network with device logic. They also achieve pressures of up to 4.8 inches of water gauge (in. WG) or 1,200 Pascals. This series is currently available in 80, 120, and 172mm models, with additional sizes to come later this year, and ideal applications include EV chargers, industrial control cabinets, and applications with high back pressure.

The new ebm-papst W3G300–ME46 series fans are larger than AxiForce fans at 300mm in diameter and are specifically designed to meet the needs of outdoor renewable energy applications, like high-power EV chargers and BESS. These electronically commutated (EC) fans combine AC and DC voltages to provide very high power densities and don’t need to be connected to the grid, which protects them from exposure to voltage fluctuations and frequency deviations. They also offer thermal overload protections, locked rotor detection, and motor current limiting and can be built locally in the U.S., which helps minimize delivery timelines. In addition, since they’re often mounted at the top of renewable energy devices, where exposure to moisture and direct sunlight is greatest, they’re qualified using the ISO16750 harsh environment automotive standard, which exposes the fans to ice, rain, sun, wind, and washing substances to ensure safe and reliable operation in even the most extreme conditions.
