Luczo Dragon IndyCar Carries 'Eyes on the Road' Logo to Prevent Blindness to Indy 500
Date:5/20/2008

BOSTON and INDIANAPOLIS, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 25, one bright yellow IndyCar, the Number 12 Symantec Dallara Honda, will be racing to win the Indianapolis 500 bearing the symbol of a campaign to fight blindness -- Eyes on the Road. By emblazoning their car on both sides with the logo of Eyes on the Road, http://www.eyesontheroad.org, IndyCar owners Jay Penske and Steve Luczo of Luczo Dragon Racing and its driver, IndyCar Series veteran Tomas Scheckter of South Africa, add their support to a cause of great importance to all people and especially to anyone who loves to drive.

Eyes on the Road is the brain child of Indy 500 fan and trucking enthusiast Mark Harter of Indianapolis, who is legally blind, and consists of a partnership between Schepens Eye Research Institute in Boston and Truck.Net, the nation's leading trucking industry internet portal. Its purpose: to increase awareness of and funding for research to prevent and cure blindness.

"When we heard from Mark about the work that he and the Schepens were doing together to fight blindness, we were tremendously inspired and wanted to do what we could to help," says Jay Penske, who with partner, Steve Luczo, are already dedicated philanthropists who commit 50 percent of their winnings to charities each year.

Harter, who has idolized Penske's father Roger since childhood, reached out to the younger Penske in February with the hope that an IndyCar could be part of the Eyes on the Road initiative.

"Race car drivers are natural advocates for our mission," says Harter. "Like truckers, their ability to drive depends on great eyesight. We are thrilled that Luczo Dragon Racing agreed to bring our message to the racing community and the public."
