Officials with Roth Racing and PDM Racing have joined forces for the Indianapolis 500 with Marty Roth, the owner/driver of Roth Racing, driving the No. 25 Roth/PDM Racing Dallara/Chevrolet/Firestone.

“We are very pleased to partner with Marty and his team for the Indy 500,” said Paul Diatlovich, team principal for PDM. “I have known many of the guys on the team for over 20 years and know that they are a very talented group. We are excited for this opportunity, and especially excited about the package in which we plan on competing with for 500 miles.”

Roth, a native of Toronto, is a veteran of the Menards Infiniti Pro Series, and finished 24th in the Indianapolis 500 as a rookie in 2004.

“I can’t wait to run the 500 this year,” Roth said. “The team has grown over this past year, and we have been able to improve our staff and equipment. We have really taken a step forward in terms of adding experience and expertise. First we brought in Pancho Carter as race strategist, then Steve Erickson as Engineer, and now we have aligned ourselves with PDM who brings with them many years of experience in running the 500, as well as a relationship with Chevy. The combination of Roth Racing, PDM and Chevrolet, whose performance this year has been outstanding, should provide us with a strong entry for the Indy 500.”
