Momentum in the NTT IndyCar Series appears to be growing on the sponsorship front. On Monday, May 4, Sam’s Club, a leading membership retail club, was announced as an official partner for IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Sam’s Club becomes the Official Sponsor and Official and Exclusive Warehouse Club Retail Store of the NTT IndyCar Series, Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge.
Sam’s Club also will be the entitlement sponsor of the Indy 500 Fan Midway. The Sam’s Club Fan Midway will feature a premium retail environment with interactive elements and giveaways for fans. Sam’s Club will also serve as the primary sponsor for the No. 27 Sam’s Club Honda driven by Kyle Kirkwood for the Month of May and beyond. That was announced by Andretti Global on April 23.
Both Sam’s Club and IndyCar believe expanding its presence in the high-energy world of IndyCar racing is a natural fit for Sam’s Club, “as it is pioneering the future of retail by creating seamless, connected experiences, whether in the club or online.”
This sponsorship arrangement also underscores the mission of Sam’s Club’s Member Access Platform (MAP).

“Sam’s Club’s continued involvement with the NTT IndyCar Series, including their expanded presence with IMS and the Indy 500, is an exciting opportunity for our fans,” IndyCar and IMS President J. Douglas Boles said. “Sam’s Club is all about engaging with fans in meaningful ways, and there’s no better platform than IndyCar.”
According to IndyCar, Sam’s Club MAP is redefining retail media by connecting brands with both members and non-members through integrated experiences. By connecting physical, digital and media touchpoints, MAP creates unified moments that audiences can see, hear and engage with, while delivering measurable results for brands.
Sam’s Club MAP is bringing the club into communities, showing up in culturally relevant moments to connect with both current and prospective members. Building on last year’s success, Sam’s Club is scaling its experiential platform, expanding Race to the Club to more locations while extending into additional cultural moments across sports, seasonal and community-driven events.
Sam’s Club, a division of Walmart Inc., is a membership club that is pioneering the future of retail experience, providing exclusive access to value, convenience and modern omnichannel shopping options to millions of members in more than 600 clubs across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
