FuZion Autosport will debut in the Indy Pro Series in 2008 with Adam Andretti as its driver.

Andretti, the nephew of Mario Andretti and cousin of Michael and Marco Andretti, debuted in the Indy Pro Series in the 2007 season finale at Chicagoland Speedway, qualifying 13th and finishing 18th.

The team will conduct its first test on Dec. 18 at Sebring International Raceway.

"I am very happy to finally be settled in with an Indy Pro Series team," Andretti said. "FuZion was a no-brainer for me. Even though the team is new, the engineers, mechanics and management have been around the series since its inception, and the ownership group is made up of true red-blooded racers.

"I recently relocated
back to Brownsburg (Ind.) where I was raised and attended high school, so everything feels like the right fit. Most of all, it is an honor to drive for a well-respected group of owners who have the talent needed for the team to succeed. I can't wait to start testing and get on with the season"

The ownership group features longtime Indy Pro Series participant Dave McMillan, Terre Haute, Ind. native and Formula BMW team owner David Hunt, and Northern California businessman Preston Countryman.

The team recently moved into a new race shop in Brownsburg a few miles west of the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The Indy Pro Series begins its 16-race schedule with the Miami 100 on the oval at Homestead on March 29.
