Hunter-Reay gets new backing to complete IICS season with Andretti Autosport

Andretti Autosport announced today that Team IZOD driver Ryan Hunter-Reay is set to run the remainder of the 2010 IZOD IndyCar Series season after a group of team sponsors stepped up collectively to fund the effort.

In addition to confirming Hunter-Reay's full-season participation, the team also unveiled a new charitable initiative connected to the #37 entry called "Racing For Cancer." The program, which was developed by Tom Vossman - chief executive officer of team sponsor Inland Industrial Services Group - will raise money for cancer research and other charitable causes in honor of Hunter-Reay's mother, Lydia, who lost her battle with colon cancer in November 2009.

That's great to hear!

Next: Graham Rahal. And/Or PT. Both of them have a legit argument for having full time rides in Indycar.
