IndyCar News: JM Bullion Expands Andretti Partnership w/Kirkwood
Andretti Global, a racing team under the TWG Motorsports umbrella, announced today that JM Bullion, one of the largest and most trusted precious metals dealers in the world, will serve as the primary partner for the No. 27 JM Bullion Honda piloted by Andretti INDYCAR’s Kyle Kirkwood at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and Portland International Raceway. In addition to the primary partnership at the Grand Prix of Monterey and the Grand Prix of Portland, JM Bullion will also serve as the official precious metals trading partner of Andretti’s No. 27 entry.
JM Bullion is a wholly owned subsidiary of A-Mark Precious Metals, a Fortune 500 company whose stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (NASDAQ: AMRK). In 2024, JM Bullion made its motorsports debut, partnering with Andretti Global for the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500 on the No. 98 entry of Marco Andretti. The relationship has since grown into a strategic partnership that has seen the leading bullion dealer expand its branding presence across the Andretti INDYCAR program from an Indianapolis 500-only entry into a primary partnership at two of INDYCAR’s most historic tracks. In addition, JM Bullion has also released an exclusive line of Andretti-themed silver bullion products that highlight the team’s talented stable of drivers, including a special edition coin that will be available for purchase.
Making his fourth start at both WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and Portland International Raceway, Kirkwood will look to make one of the iconic West Coast circuits the site of his first career road course win. A victory on either of the road courses would mean the Florida native has now won on all three types of INDYCAR tracks, having already secured his first oval victory earlier this season at World Wide Technology Raceway and four prior wins on street circuits. Currently sitting third in the INDYCAR Championship standings, Kirkwood remains one of only four drivers to claim a win so far this season.
The No. 27 JM Bullion Honda will make its INDYCAR debut on Friday, July 25, and the Grand Prix of Monterey will air live on FOX on Sunday, July 27 at 3 PM ET. Kirkwood will once again carry the JM Bullion colors at the Grand Prix of Portland, August 8-10.
ROB PACELLI, PRESIDENT AND CEO, JM BULLION
“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Andretti Global, an organization that exemplifies the same commitment to excellence, performance and integrity that defines JM Bullion. From our debut at the 2024 Indianapolis 500 to this next chapter supporting Kyle Kirkwood in the No. 27 Honda, we’re proud to align with a team that shares our passion for pushing boundaries and delivering at the highest level.”
JILL GREGORY, PRESIDENT, ANDRETTI GLOBAL
“It’s been exciting to see our relationship with JM Bullion grow over the past few years. We’ve gone from an Indianapolis 500-only debut to a custom season-long coin release program across the Andretti INDYCAR program, and adding a primary partnership on the No. 27 at iconic circuits like Laguna Seca and Portland is an amazing extension. Kyle and the No. 27 team have been strong on the West Coast, and we look forward to a great race for JM Bullion.”
KYLE KIRKWOOD, DRIVER OF NO. 27 JM BULLION HONDA, ANDRETTI INDYCAR
“I’m excited to have JM Bullion on board with me for the next two race weekends. They’ve partnered with us before with Marco at the Indianapolis 500 for the last few years, so it’s great to now represent them myself. We’re also launching my coin this weekend, which is an awesome way to kick off our partnership at Laguna Seca.”
