This made the choice to attend the event a must for me as any time I can meld my two passions is something I cannot pass up. I am thankful to Honda for not only supporting Harding Steinbrenner Racing and the NTT IndyCar Series, but also for sponsoring Little League, the world’s greatest game in its most unadulterated form. I have watched the Little League World Series my entire life, and this will be my first time to Williamsport to see the event in person.”
