Hands Up! Good Things do come to Nice Guys

As watch for the Hands powering the No. 28 forwards in the Rose City…

 

Presumably this was timed? With the announcement of Marcus Ericsson’s one year extension at Andretti Global being announced afterwards.

 

And I realize that Marcus isn’t the only IndyCar driver doing good things behind the scenes for community and fans. But this story really makes me Happy! Being impressed with the Swede’s commitment to the children.

 

May be you’ve already read the Indianapolis Star’s story about the special Hands livery of Peyton Manning children’s Hospital patient ambassadors on the rear wing of His No. 28 Andretti global racecar this weekend?

 

As Marcus has been wearing specially adorned hats decorated by children at Peyton Manning children’s Hospital during the course of this year’s IndyCar season. And now Marcus and Andretti Global have taken it a step forward. Along with helping a very special girl named Chloe attend the race!

 

So how can you root against Ericsson this weekend, Eh?
