Hideki Mutoh, #27 Andretti Green Racing Dallara/Honda/Firestone:

"I am very excited to be joining Andretti Green Racing. The team's record is very impressive and I am hopeful that I can contribute to its future success. I am very eager for the 2008 season to begin and am looking forward to working with all of my new teammates. I wish to thank Andretti Green and Honda for giving me this great opportunity."

Michael Andretti, Chairman, Andretti Green Racing:

"We've been impressed with Hideki since the first open test of 2007 when I got a look at him in an Indy Pro Series car for the first time. I think he's got a lot of talent and a lot of potential, especially in our system at Andretti Green. He is going to have three great teammates to lean on and that should really help his learning curve as a rookie."
