September 26, 2018 - Mouser Electronics, Inc. congratulates champion driver Sebastien Bourdais and the Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan team on their seventh-place finish in the 2018 Verizon IndyCar Series, after crossing the finish line in sixth place at the INDYCAR Grand Prix of Sonoma (Calif.).

Bourdais kicked off the 2018 season with his second consecutive win at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, piloting the No. 18 car through the Florida street course. Bourdais went on to score eight top-10 finishes, including a third-place win at the penultimate event of the season, the Grand Prix of Portland (Ore.).

Mouser Electronics, the industry's leading new product introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, proudly teamed up with valued supplier Molex to sponsor Bourdais and the Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan team for the 2018 Verizon IndyCar Series. The 2018 season marked the 23rd year of the IndyCar Series.

"Bourdais and the team put up a phenomenal season," said Todd McAtee, Mouser Electronics' Vice President, Americas Business Development. "We are very proud of the collaboration between Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan, Mouser Electronics and Molex and our collective commitment to best-in-class teamwork."

"On behalf of Molex, we congratulate Bourdais on a great comeback year and his dedication to delivering a strong performance throughout the racing season. We look forward to future opportunities to again team up with Mouser to sponsor the No. 18 car," said Fred Bell, vice president of global distribution, Molex.
