Carpenter will be joined by Dan Wheldon at the Fuzzy Ultra sponsored team, which is in partnership between Vision Racing and Panther Racing. “We're really very excited about the opportunity to compete in more IndyCar races this season thanks to the support of Fuzzy Zoeller and his Ultra Premium Vodka along with John Barnes and the Panther Racing team,” said Vision Racing Team Owner, Tony George. “We're looking forward to building on the experience of both teams and our partnership at the Indianapolis 500 this year to secure strong results.

“I cannot wait to get back on the racetrack in the no.20 Fuzzy's Ultra Premium vodka car,” said Carpenter who made his 100th career start at the 2010 Indianapolis 500 with Panther, qualified in the eighth position for the race and ran as high as fourth before taking the checkered flag in 17th. “We had such a great month of May, I am excited to finish what we started. All three races that we are doing we should be very competitive, and I am hoping to deliver for Fuzzy, Vision and Panther. It has been a long season watching IndyCar action from the sidelines, so I am eager to get back into the action.”
