INDIANAPOLIS, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sports.com, a member of the Lottery.com Inc. family of brands (Nasdaq LTRY;LTRYW) (“Lottery.com”’or “the Company”), the fast-growing platform at the intersection of sports, media and technology, proudly announces a high-visibility partnership with Louis Foster, one of the brightest young drivers in motorsport, ahead of his debut in the 2025 Indy 500.
Foster, the 2024 Indy NXT Champion, joins Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing driving the No. 45 car for his first full season in the NTT INDYCAR Series.

His Sports.com-branded helmet will feature throughout the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500, dubbed the “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing”, creating visibility for the brand on the global motorsport stage.
Louis Foster qualified 20th for this year’s Indy 500 and will start from Row 7, driving the No. 45 car for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.

To partner with a driver of Louis Foster’s caliber at such an iconic event reinforces our mission to deliver high-impact exposure, enhance international brand recognition, and drive long-term shareholder value,” said Marc Bircham, Director at Sports.com.
“As someone who grew up around racing and spent much of my early life immersed in the automotive world alongside my father, motorsport has always been close to my heart. The Indy 500 is arguably the most prestigious and iconic race in the world — it’s an event every driver dreams of competing in,” said Matthew McGahan, Chairman and CEO of Lottery.com and Sports.com. “We are proud to support Louis Foster in his first Indy 500 and thrilled to have this opportunity to showcase the Sports.com brand on such a historic stage. This partnership reflects both my personal passion for racing and our wider strategy of aligning Sports.com with world-class talent in high-exposure environments.”
At just 21 years old, Foster has already amassed 40 career wins and 88 podiums across 189 races, showcasing elite skill on road courses, ovals, and street circuits, underscoring his future potential in global racing.
