Did Morgan Wallen sponsor Felix Rosenqvist's Indy 500 car?

Felix Rosenqvist won a thrilling Indy 500 on Sunday, giving the Swedish driver his first-career Indy 500 win and just the second win of his IndyCar career.

But fans might have taken notice to country singer Morgan Wallen's name getting dropped after the win. Rosenqvist's car was sporting a Morgan Wallen-themed livery, which made it appear as if the singer had personally sponsored Rosenqvist's car.

That wasn't exactly the case.

Rosenqvist — who races for Meyer Shank Racing — had a music-themed livery as part of the team's collaboration with SiriusXM. As part of the sponsorship, SiriusXM chose to promote its special Morgan Wallen Radio station for the month of May.

Via Racer.com:

“Wallen’s music will ride along with Rosenqvist as he begins his Month of May campaign in style,” the teams aid. “The No. 60 SiriusXM Honda will sport a new livery inspired by Wallen’s signature aesthetic that captures the spirit of country music and the energy of one of the genre’s biggest names.

“The special livery continues SiriusXM and Meyer Shank Racing’s creative collaborations, bringing together the worlds of music and motorsports in one of racing’s most iconic months. As the IndyCar paddock turns its attention to Indianapolis, Rosenqvist and the No. 60 team will look to carry momentum into both the Sonsio Grand Prix and the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500.”

So while Wallen wasn't personally involved, he did get his name attached to the Indy 500 winner.
