Jostens was named today as the official champion’s ring provider of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, supplying rings to winners of the Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil, INDYCAR Grand Prix and Brickyard 400.
Jostens will also be the preferred jewelry and trophy supplier of IMS and will continue its relationship with INDYCAR and the Verizon IndyCar Series, supplying its Official Championship Ring and Official Fan Ring.
“We’re proud to welcome Jostens to the IMS family and look forward to seeing our champions wearing their rings, starting with this weekend’s INDYCAR Grand Prix,” IMS President J. Douglas Boles said. “These rings are a special part of racing history, and our fans will love and admire the quality work done by Jostens to salute the great accomplishment of a victory at IMS.”
