WAUWATOSA, Wis. (August 20, 2025) – Ichor Water, with its popular hydrogen and alkaline beverage lines produced in Wisconsin, will be prominently featured on Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s (RLL) No. 45 RLL Droplight Honda car at this weekend’s (Aug. 23-24) SNAP-ON Milwaukee Mile 250 NTT INDYCAR SERIES race.  Ichor Water will appear in premium locations (engine cover and tire ramps) of the IndyCar driven by rookie sensation Louis Foster.

Ichor, headquartered in Chicago, is a perfect tie-in with the RLL team and the Milwaukee Mile as its products are bottled and canned just a few miles from the legendary oval track, still the oldest motorsports track in the United States. Ichor has been bottled in the Milwaukee area since 2021, and its hydrogen and alkaline water is bottled and canned exclusively in the Milwaukee area. All Ichor packaging also is produced in Wisconsin. 

Droplight, the No. 45 RLL entry’s primary partner, works in association with Ichor Water in a variety of activities including the RLL partnership throughout the NTT INDYCAR Series.  

“We, at Ichor, are very excited to expand our association with the RLL team and driver Louis Foster for this weekend’s exciting NTT INDYCAR SERIES 250-mile race,” said Paul Dagnino, founder of Ichor Water. “This thrilling event is just down the street from our Ichor plant and makes for a great combination with high-powered action on the track.

“Consumers are increasingly health conscious. Our mission is to deliver locally sourced water with a unique twist – hydration that truly works for the body. Just like with the athletes in the race cars. We are thrilled to share our water with Milwaukee residents and beyond. Our goal is simple: provide a product that feels as good as it tastes and keep people performing at their best.”

The Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team is a two-time Indy 500 champion and is led by racing legend Bobby Rahal, the 1986 Indy 500 winner and three-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion. 

“We are extremely pleased to showcase Ichor’s involvement with our RLL team for this weekend’s Milwaukee Mile event,” said Rahal, a Milwaukee Mile race-winning team owner with drivers Kenny Brack (2001) and Michel Jourdain Jr. (2003). “Having a Milwaukee-based company like Ichor and its great water products as a part of the No. 45 Honda with Louis Foster makes for a great combination at the historic Milwaukee Mile. Ichor has new and innovative products with its hydrogen and alkaline water which assists hydration.”

Foster, the 22-year-old rookie driver from England, currently leads the coveted “Rookie of the Year” point standings in the No. 45 RLL Droplight Honda, and he is a former INDY NXT Milwaukee Mile winner (2024).

Ichor Alkaline Water is naturally ionized with Himalayan salt – a mineral-rich, natural alternative to the sodium bicarbonate most companies use to raise pH. This process achieves a stable pH of 9.5 even at boiling. Infused with essential minerals and electrolytes, Ichor Alkaline Water supports lasting hydration and replenishment. Made without preservatives or artificial colors, it offers a clean, authentic choice to today’s health-focused consumer.

Ichor has also just introduced Hydrogen Water – a rapidly growing wellness category supported by clinical research. Hydrogen water delivers molecular hydrogen, a powerful antioxidant shown to support energy, recovery, and cellular health. Each 12-ounce sleek can contain magnesium and comes in Natural, Cucumber Mint, Blood Orange, Lemon and Grapefruit – crafted to make functional hydration both effective and refreshing.
