COVID-19 infections are reaching new highs in the U.S., and frequent, proper handwashing has been shown to slow the spread of the virus.  As part of its global support of the World Health Organization’s #SafeHands Challenge, Colgate is distributing 25 million bars of specially-made soap with packaging that features instructions for proper handwashing. In the U.S., 1.4 million #SafeHands soap bars are being distributed, as well as body wash, dishwashing liquid soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes for adults and kids.

Colgate is also working with local school districts to coordinate product deliveries as part of ongoing  grab-and-go lunch programs and with food banks and partner agencies that are part of the Feeding America network.

“COVID-19 is a daunting public health challenge, and we’re grateful for this opportunity to donate the health and hygiene products people need to keep themselves healthy,” said Jean-Luc Fischer, President of Colgate North America. “And with financial hardship now affecting many families, this donation  will help people continue their daily routines — to brush their teeth, wash their hands, bathe and shower.”

“The pandemic has impacted our entire nation, especially people in need. We are thankful to Colgate for their generous donation of health and hygiene essentials to children, families and seniors served by the Feeding America network. This generous donation will help protect communities and help guide them towards a safer and healthier future,” said Blake Thompson, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Feeding America.

Dixon, Rahal Head Honda 1-2 at GMR Grand Prix in Indianapolis

Honda and Scott Dixon are now two-for-two in the 2020 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, with Dixon adding victory Saturday at the GMR Grand Prix in Indianapolis to his win last month at Texas Motor Speedway.

– Scott Dixon, Honda go two-for-two to open 2020 NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship

– Graham Rahal plays speed, pit strategy to perfection to finish second

– Honda pads Manufacturers’ title chase lead as series begins run of five races in 15 days

INDIANAPOLIS, July 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As he had at the 2020 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season opener in Texas in June, Scott Dixon dominated the second half of today’s GMR Grand Prix to lead a 1-2 finish for Honda on the road course of the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Honda and Scott Dixon are now two-for-two in the 2020 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, with Dixon adding victory Saturday at the GMR Grand Prix in Indianapolis to his win last month at Texas Motor Speedway.

Dixon credited a minor setup change made during his second pit stop for improving the handling of his Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, and the five-time series champion the pulled away during the second half of the 80-lap contest to a nearly 20-second margin of victory over fellow Honda driver Graham Rahal.

For his part, Rahal was able to make a two-stop strategy work to his advantage, with the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing driver running especially strong during the middle third of the race, where he led 18 laps and was in contention for the victory. But when the sole caution flag of the race came out on Lap 36, the advantage of Rahal’s two-stop strategy was negated. In the closing laps, Rahal fought off a strong challenge from defending race winner Simon Pagenaud to secure the second step on the podium.

Behind the lead pair, Colton Herta led the way for Andretti Autosport with a solid fourth-place finish, while Dixon’s teammate Marcus Ericsson brought his Honda home in sixth. Santino Ferruci, in ninth, and Takuma Sato rounded out the top 10 for Honda.

With two wins in two races this season, Honda also continues to lead the IndyCar Manufacturers’ Championship, with an unofficial total of 182 points to 142 points for Chevrolet.

Next
Today’s GMR Grand Prix is the first of three consecutive weekends – and five races – in the resumed 2020 NTT INDYCAR SERIES. The series now heads north to scenic Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, for the July 11-12 doubleheader REV Group Grand Prix. A second doubleheader race weekend follows July 17-18 on the oval at Iowa Speedway.

Quotes
Scott Dixon (Chip Ganassi Racing Honda) Started seventh, finished first; second consecutive INDYCAR win to open the 2020 season and 48th career victory: “You don’t know how it’s ever going to go. Graham Rahal was super fast, especially on the [Firestone primary] ‘black’ tires. We got a little bit of luck [with the caution] that put us in the right direction. The Honda power was fantastic, and we made a change on the car [during the second pit stop] and then the PNC car was so much easier to drive that we could just ‘check out’.” 

Graham Rahal (Rahal Letterman Lanigan Honda) Started fourth, finished second: “I thought the [two-stop] strategy was working perfect. Coming out of the pits after the first stop and still being right with [Will] Power and [Jack] Harvey and all the good guys, all I kept thinking was when the pits cycled through for the last time, we’d have about a 25- or 30-second lead, but obviously the yellow [caution flag] came out and nullified our strategy. But ‘Dixie’ had tremendous pace during the late part of the race. But the Fifth Third Bank car was great today. I thought our guys did a tremendous job. For our team, after [disappointment in] Texas, this feels extremely good for us.”

Ted Klaus (President, Honda Performance Development) on today’s Honda win in the GMR Grand Prix: “It’s fantastic for Honda to break through and win on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. Every victory at this famous speedway is special. Scott Dixon and Chip Ganassi Racing got it done once again, and we had three HPD teams in the top four with Graham Rahal for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing and Colton Herta with Andretti Autosport. Congrats to everyone at HPD and our partner teams who helped make this great day happen. Everyone earned it today!”

Autoproyecto Launches Hispanic Impact Editorial Series

LOS ANGELES, July 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today Autoproyecto launched a new editorial series titled the ‘Hispanic Impact Report.’ This multi-article series will focus on the impact Hispanics have on the automotive market and the efforts manufacturers make to earn their trust and brand loyalty. A new segment of the report will be published each week throughout the summer, culminating in September during Hispanic Heritage month.

“This is a critical time for Hispanic consumers and many are waking up to the significance of their purchasing power, especially younger buyers who are more socially and environmentally focused than their parents,” said Camilo Alfaro, Autoproyecto Founder & CEO. “As a result of this consumer shift, we’re altering our journalism efforts to move beyond simple product recommendations to include more socially conscious reasons for recommending certain brands over others.” Alfaro also acknowledged, “Our readers demand responsible and transparent reporting – they understand they are voting with their wallets.”

The series is being developed both through Autoproyecto’s in-house editorial research team and interviews with the top ten automotive brands by sales volume to Hispanics. It will be hosted at on a special section titled Hispanidad on Autoproyecto’s homepage and promoted through Autoproyecto’s 360 media ecosystem: Autoproyecto.com, social channels, podcasts, OTT channels (Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV), and national / cable television (NBC Telemundo and CNN Espanol).

According to the Selig Center for Economic Growth, the $1.5 trillion Hispanic market is the largest ethnic market in the U.S., and includes more than one out of every six Americans.

Overall, the Hispanic population has a younger median age, over-indexes on digital platform use, enjoys rising incomes and demonstrates higher population growth when compared to the general market. According to various census and car buying reports, Hispanics represent 18% of the US population, yet account for 24% of all car sales and have the potential to buy more cars over their lifetime than non-hispanics.

“The series was developed to address the lack of information on Hispanics with respect to the automotive industry,” added Alfaro. “The 2010 Census created a lot of energy around marketing to Hispanics but since 2015, information and access to information has declined.  With the 2020 Census around the corner, we believe there will be renewed interest in the Hispanic community and we plan to be at the forefront by reporting information that helps automotive marketers reach this demographic more effectively.”

The Hispanic community has been referred to as the sleeping giant because of its untapped potential. Nowhere is this more evident than the Hispanic automotive market.
