Trench Shoring Company-Sponsored Car Wins 2025 Indy 500 Race
Los Angeles, CA. June 1, 2025 – With members of the Trench Shoring Company’s Malloy family cheering from the stands, Alex Palou sped to victory at the 2025 Indianapolis 500. Trench Shoring Company proudly co-sponsored Palou, who piloted car No. 10 for the renowned Chip Ganassi Racing Team in the IndyCar Series.
This milestone marks the first Indy 500 win for a Trench Shoring Company-cosponsored team, following four years of partnership with Ganassi Racing. In 2023, Palou secured the fastest qualifier position for the Indy 500 but finished fourth.
The relationship between Trench Shoring Company and Ganassi Racing traces back four years to the Borg-Warner Trophy event where Tom and Sharon Malloy first connected with Chip Ganassi. This annual event honors the winning car of the Indy 500 each year. That year, Marcus Ericsson secured the Indy 500 victory with Ganassi Racing. Seizing the moment, Chip approached Tom and asked when Trench Shoring Company’s logo would make its debut on his race car.
This conversation sparked an enduring partnership. Racing has been deeply woven into the Malloy family’s legacy for decades. Tom Malloy’s father, Emmett, built the former Carrell Speedway in Gardena, California, in the mid 40s. Emmett owned two open-wheel race cars, nurturing Tom’s lifelong passion for high-performance engines. Over the years, Tom has built an extensive private collection of race cars and memorabilia, preserving the rich history of American auto racing. His connection to the Indy 500 runs deep—his father’s car competed in the 1954 event, and the duo attended the race together.
Alex Palou and the Chip Ganassi Racing Team have dominated the IndyCar Series, securing championships in 2021, 2023, and 2024. Palou has triumphed in five of the seven races held so far this season, including the prestigious Indy 500. Ganassi Racing has celebrated several Indy 500 victories over the years.
Reflecting on this achievement, Tom Malloy stated, “It was an honor for me and my extended family to be part of the Chip Ganassi Racing Team this year, alongside primary sponsor DHL. Chip, his team, and the extraordinarily talented Alex Palou have made Trench Shoring Company proud to be supporters. We look forward to many future races together!”
