INDIANAPOLIS — Chip Ganassi Racing and The American Legion are set to promote Netflix’s upcoming comedy film “Unfrosted.”
The movie, directed by and starring Jerry Seinfeld, will be featured on the No. 8 American Legion Chip Ganassi Racing Honda driven by rookie Linus Lundqvist during the April 21 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach in California.Â
“It is great to have an opportunity to partner with a brand like Netflix through our relationship with The American Legion on a fun project like this,” Chip Ganassi Racing Owner Chip Ganassi said. “Jerry Seinfeld and his brand of comedy are known by everyone and his love for cars is legendary. It will be fun to put those two passions together on the racetrack with a car that promotes ‘Unfrosted.'”

The No. 8 Honda will sport a special “Unfrosted” paint scheme that is the texture of an unfrosted Pop-Tart along with images of Seinfeld and some cast members. The partnership aims to help promote the film’s release on Netflix on May 3.
“Making a movie about Pop-Tarts has led to so many wonderful, unexpected surprises, and as a car guy, I honestly cannot believe our film’s logo will be on an IndyCar entry this weekend,” Seinfeld said. “I am grateful to Chip Ganassi Racing for making this happen, and honored to be affiliated with The American Legion and the work they do to support American Veterans.”
