Sammy's premier brand of tequila Cabo Wabo, will be highlighted throughout the Team KMA Indy Pro Series operation. In addition, Team KMA's multi-car Formula BMW Team will promote the famous Cabo Wabo Cantina.
"I cannot explain how honored and proud I am to have Sammy as my partner," exclaimed Lewis. "I had the honor of promoting Cabo Wabo tequila on our American Le Mans prototype in 2003. Sammy's a true rocker and so full of energy. He loves the excitement of racing and we're going to carry over that excitement to our race operation."
