JM Bullion Sponsors Kyle Kirkwood & IndyCar Races | St. Pete & More
Andretti Global has announced an expanded partnership with precious metals provider JM Bullion and its parent company, Gold.com, for the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season. JM Bullion will be the primary partner for Kyle Kirkwood’s No. 27 Honda, while Gold.com will serve as an associate partner for the entire season.
A Growing Partnership
This collaboration builds on existing relationships. JM Bullion first entered motorsports in 2024, sponsoring Marco Andretti’s No. 98 entry at the Indianapolis 500. The partnership continued in 2025 with Kyle Kirkwood at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and Portland International Raceway. This has also led to the launch of a line of Andretti-themed silver bullion products, which will continue to be available in 2026.
Strategic Alignment
The JM Bullion / Gold.com Honda will debut at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 1, with broadcasts on FOX, FOX One, FOX Deportes, the FOX Sports app, and the INDYCAR Radio Network. The sponsorship will also be present at races at Phoenix Raceway, the Streets of Arlington, and Long Beach.
Kyle Kirkwood expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, noting the team’s strength on street courses as they begin the season with three street course races and an oval. He stated, “Street courses have been strong tracks for us, so it gives our group a great opportunity to build momentum and go after strong results together.”
Rob Pacelli, CEO of JM Bullion, highlighted the significance of the inaugural Arlington race, stating it is “right in our backyard.” He also noted the strengthening alignment between JM Bullion, Gold.com, Andretti, and TWG Motorsports since their initial involvement at the 2024 Indianapolis 500.
Looking Ahead
The continued sponsorship could lead to increased brand recognition for both JM Bullion and Gold.com within the motorsports community. A successful season for Kyle Kirkwood and the No. 27 team may further enhance the value of the partnership. The inaugural race in Arlington presents a unique opportunity for JM Bullion, given its proximity to the company’s headquarters. Further collaboration between Andretti Global and JM Bullion on exclusive product lines is also a possibility.
