Renton Honda Announces Special Event for Indy 500 Fans.

May 28, 2008 - PRLog -- Renton Honda, one of the leading Honda dealers in Washington, announces a special event for Indy 500 fans featuring the display of Danica Patrick’s IRL Indy Car along with authentic drivers’ suits, a racing console including X-Box 360 system, and a custom race helmet. Free photo opportunities and a professional staff member to answer all of the race fans’ questions are the other highlights of the event.

  Honda joined the IndyCar Series at the start of the 2003 season, and became a supplier of racing engines to the series in 2006. Honda has scored 28 victories in 49 races (2003-05) against strong competition from opposing manufacturers, including Indy 500 and IndyCar drivers' and manufacturers' championships in 2004 and '05. Overall, including its 65 victories in the CART Champ Car series from 1994-2002, Honda owns 128 race victories in open-wheel competition in the U.S.

  During the course of the 17-race 2007 IndyCar Season, 36 drivers, utilizing the Honda Indy V8 (HI7R) racing engine, recorded a total of 166,608 miles with just a single in-race engine failure - a demonstration of outstanding design and build quality rarely seen in a highly stressed racing engine. For the second consecutive season, Honda also powered the entire 33-car starting field at the 2007 Indianapolis 500. And for the second year in a row - and the only two times in '500' history - there was not a single engine-related retirement in the event.
