For some people May isn’t just Indy 500 season.
It’s personal (and a little shiny)

May is one of our favorite times of the year—it’s Indy 500 season! Our love and experience in motorsports runs deep, and for some of us, it’s downright nostalgic.
Every May, like clockwork, our President Ray Leto pulls out his Indy 500 Championship Ring and wears it like it’s part of the team uniform (we don’t have uniforms, for the record).
Ray earned it just over 20 years during his days at Rahal Racing when he helped lead the team to multiple wins and poles, including the legendary 2004 Indy 500 victory with Buddy Rice. It’s a serious accomplishment… even if he treats the ring like it’s his official spring accessory.
In many cases we can’t talk about our projects and wins, but we always take your motorsports and other projects very seriously. It isn’t just what we do—it’s personal. We want you and other clients to beat your deadlines, gain market share and win your own “indy” race. With or without a ring.
