[PRESS RELEASE \u2013 Miami, Florida, March 19th, 2025]<\/strong><\/p>\n

House\u00a0of Doge, Dogecoin Foundation, IndyCar Driver DeFrancesco, and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing Launch\u00a0Dogecoin Indy 500 Voting and Donation Platform \u2013 Letting Fans Make Doge History and Win The Ultimate Collectors Prize<\/p>\n

Dogecoin Racing, launched by the House of Doge<\/a> and the Dogecoin Foundation<\/a> is teaming up with NTT INDYCAR SERIES driver Devlin DeFrancesco and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing<\/a> to bring Dogecoin to the iconic motorsports event\u2014the Indy 500\u2014while supporting a cause that is deeply personal to the team. The Indianapolis 500, known as \u201cThe Greatest Spectacle in Racing,\u201d returns for its 109th running on Memorial Day weekend on May 25, drawing over 350,000 spectators in person and reaching a global audience in over 140 countries. This year brings with it a historic partnership<\/a> with the Dogecoin race car taking center stage, empowering fans with the opportunity to vote on DeFrancesco\u2019s Indy 500 car design featuring the iconic Dogecoin Shiba Inu.<\/p>\n

Dogecoin, like DeFrancesco, was born FAST!<\/strong><\/p>\n

DeFrancesco was 15 weeks premature and weighed just one pound at birth, given his last rights on two occasions, and spent four months in the Neo-Natal ICU before making a miraculous recovery.<\/p>\n

Now, as a professional race car driver, he\u2019s using his platform to give back to critically ill children. As part of this Dogetastic partnership, DeFrancesco, a dog lover, and Dogecoin fan, will personally donate $25,000 in Dogecoin to Riley Children\u2019s Foundation in Indianapolis, aligned with Riley Children\u2019s Health, a leading pediatric care center.<\/p>\n

This initiative also marks a historic moment in motorsport, as DeFrancesco has committed to receive $100,000 of his salary in Dogecoin. A bold step forward for crypto adoption in professional sports.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI first invested in Dogecoin in 2020 and drove everyone crazy, telling anyone who would listen that they needed to own it. It\u2019s not only my favorite crypto, but the plan to become a global currency and drive payment adoption is awesome. I\u2019m pumped to be part of the community and an ambassador for the vision,\u201d Devlin shared.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Voting to Bring an Iconic Doge Design to the Indy 500 Track and Make Doge History<\/strong><\/p>\n

To celebrate the making of Dogecoin History, House of Doge, the Dogecoin Foundation and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing are launching a fan-powered contest, allowing the Dogecoin community to choose the official race car wrap and helmet design that Devlin will wear at the Indy 500.<\/p>\n

From March 19 to March 25, fans can vote on their favorite design and enter to win a Dogecoin wallet loaded with $1,000.<\/p>\n

VOTES OPEN TODAY<\/strong>: Three potential versions of the No. 30 Dogecoin Honda include:<\/p>\n

\u25cf Blaze \u2013 This livery burns so hot, it makes the sun look like a nightlight. Some say it was forged in the volcanic fires of K\u012blauea and once it hits the track, all that\u2019s left behind is smoke, embers, and the shattered dreams of others<\/p>\n

\u25cf Turbowave \u2013 This livery is so 80s, it comes with a free synthwave soundtrack and a pair of neon sunglasses. Some say if you drive it at night, it glitches into a parallel universe where Miami Vice never ended and every race runs in slow motion with looping palm trees in the background.<\/p>\n

\u25cf BananaBoost \u2013 This livery is so slippery, that Mario\u2019s filing an official complaint. Powered by pure potassium, it\u2019s sure to slip past the competition while making swift work of pesky turtle shells.<\/p>\n

\u201cDogenate\u201d to Children\u2019s Health for a Chance to Win the Ultimate Collector\u2019s Prize<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of this partnership, House of Doge and the Dogecoin Foundation are rallying the Dogecoin community to join DeFrancesco in making a real-world impact by supporting children\u2019s health. In addition to casting a vote, contributions in Dogecoin to Riley\u2019s provide an opportunity to win the ultimate collector\u2019s prize.<\/p>\n

The largest Dogecoin donor leading up to race day will receive an exclusive, one-of-a-kind Indy 500 racing helmet, worn \u2013 and signed \u2013 by DeFrancesco himself during his Indy 500 qualifying run.<\/p>\n

The Dogecoin-powered fundraising campaign will directly benefit Riley Children\u2019s Foundation, which supports Riley Children\u2019s Health, home to one of the nation\u2019s top-ranked neonatology programs by U.S. News & World Report. The funds raised will help provide life-saving medical care to newborns, including those born prematurely or with critical conditions requiring immediate and specialized treatment.<\/p>\n

House of Doge encourages the Dogecoin community to race toward generosity, make history, and support this incredible cause leading up to the Indy 500 on May 25.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
