Earlier this year, VeeKay already raced in a Bitnile-funded livery, the Dutchman attacking the streets of Long Beach in the purple and navy blue colours of Alzamend. The #21 Bitcoin Racing Team car is made possible by Bitnile, the company owned by Todd Ault III who has been associated with Ed Carpenter Racing since the start of this season. Last year, the talented twentysomething racing for Ed Carpenter Racing competed in The Greatest Spectacle in Racing in a black car while this time his car will be decked out in orange.

Rinus ‘VeeKay’ van Kalmthout will be hard to miss in the upcoming Indianapolis 500, as during the 106th running of this legendary contest the 21-year old Dutchman will race a car decked out entirely in orange while adding a Dutch flag on its front wing and a pair of lions on its wing mirrors.
