Dogecoin's Shiba Inu mascot is once again gaining attention as it will adorn Devlin DeFrancesco's IndyCar at the Indianapolis 500 event, a widely watched motorsport race in the United States. The collaboration involves the Dogecoin Foundation, House of Doge, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, and the driver himself.

Prior to the race, Dogecoin supporters voted for the final design of the car, opting for a DOGE-themed livery called Blaze, which will be displayed prominently on both the vehicle and the driver's helmet.

While DeFrancesco has not achieved a top 10 finish at the Indy 500, with his best result being 13th in 2023, he maintains a strong fan base. The initiative has raised funds for the Riley Children's Foundation, supporting neonatology care for newborns with complex medical needs.

After the race, DeFrancesco plans to auction his Dogecoin-themed helmet to further support the Riley Children's Hospital. This initiative highlights the increasing intersection of cryptocurrency enthusiasm with real-world impact in the realm of professional sports.
