Marcus Ericsson to run Acura branding on No. 28 Andretti Honda in D.C.

Acura using Ericsson's car as a primary branding vehicle is a straightforward manufacturer marketing play, but the timing is notable — it follows his Markham Grand Prix win, so the Honda brand family is attaching itself to a driver with momentum rather than just buying space on a midfield entry. For Andretti Global, it also signals that the team's Honda relationship extends to commercial partnerships beyond the engine supply deal. Watch whether this is a one-off tied to the D.C. street circuit's visibility or the start of a broader Acura presence in IndyCar liveries this season.
