Honda pads Manufacturers’ title chase lead as series begins run of five races in 15 days

INDIANAPOLIS, July 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As he had at the 2020 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season opener in Texas in June, Scott Dixon dominated the second half of today’s GMR Grand Prix to lead a 1-2 finish for Honda on the road course of the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Honda and Scott Dixon are now two-for-two in the 2020 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, with Dixon adding victory Saturday at the GMR Grand Prix in Indianapolis to his win last month at Texas Motor Speedway.

Dixon credited a minor setup change made during his second pit stop for improving the handling of his Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, and the five-time series champion the pulled away during the second half of the 80-lap contest to a nearly 20-second margin of victory over fellow Honda driver Graham Rahal.

For his part, Rahal was able to make a two-stop strategy work to his advantage, with the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing driver running especially strong during the middle third of the race, where he led 18 laps and was in contention for the victory. But when the sole caution flag of the race came out on Lap 36, the advantage of Rahal’s two-stop strategy was negated. In the closing laps, Rahal fought off a strong challenge from defending race winner Simon Pagenaud to secure the second step on the podium.

Behind the lead pair, Colton Herta led the way for Andretti Autosport with a solid fourth-place finish, while Dixon’s teammate Marcus Ericsson brought his Honda home in sixth. Santino Ferruci, in ninth, and Takuma Sato rounded out the top 10 for Honda.

With two wins in two races this season, Honda also continues to lead the IndyCar Manufacturers’ Championship, with an unofficial total of 182 points to 142 points for Chevrolet.

Next
Today’s GMR Grand Prix is the first of three consecutive weekends – and five races – in the resumed 2020 NTT INDYCAR SERIES. The series now heads north to scenic Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, for the July 11-12 doubleheader REV Group Grand Prix. A second doubleheader race weekend follows July 17-18 on the oval at Iowa Speedway.

Honda Racing social media content and videos from the GMR Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be available on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HondaRacingHPD) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/HondaRacing_HPD). Produced by the CoForce Digital Media, YouTube video packages can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/HondaRacingHPDTV.  

Quotes
Scott Dixon (Chip Ganassi Racing Honda) Started seventh, finished first; second consecutive INDYCAR win to open the 2020 season and 48th career victory: «You don’t know how it’s ever going to go. Graham Rahal was super fast, especially on the [Firestone primary] ‘black’ tires. We got a little bit of luck [with the caution] that put us in the right direction. The Honda power was fantastic, and we made a change on the car [during the second pit stop] and then the PNC car was so much easier to drive that we could just ‘check out’.» 

Graham Rahal (Rahal Letterman Lanigan Honda) Started fourth, finished second: «I thought the [two-stop] strategy was working perfect. Coming out of the pits after the first stop and still being right with [Will] Power and [Jack] Harvey and all the good guys, all I kept thinking was when the pits cycled through for the last time, we’d have about a 25- or 30-second lead, but obviously the yellow [caution flag] came out and nullified our strategy. But ‘Dixie’ had tremendous pace during the late part of the race. But the Fifth Third Bank car was great today. I thought our guys did a tremendous job. For our team, after [disappointment in] Texas, this feels extremely good for us.»

Ted Klaus (President, Honda Performance Development) on today’s Honda win in the GMR Grand Prix: «It’s fantastic for Honda to break through and win on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. Every victory at this famous speedway is special. Scott Dixon and Chip Ganassi Racing got it done once again, and we had three HPD teams in the top four with Graham Rahal for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing and Colton Herta with Andretti Autosport. Congrats to everyone at HPD and our partner teams who helped make this great day happen. Everyone earned it today!»

Autoproyecto Launches Hispanic Impact Editorial Series

LOS ANGELES, July 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today Autoproyecto launched a new editorial series titled the ‘Hispanic Impact Report.’ This multi-article series will focus on the impact Hispanics have on the automotive market and the efforts manufacturers make to earn their trust and brand loyalty. A new segment of the report will be published each week throughout the summer, culminating in September during Hispanic Heritage month.

«This is a critical time for Hispanic consumers and many are waking up to the significance of their purchasing power, especially younger buyers who are more socially and environmentally focused than their parents,» said Camilo Alfaro, Autoproyecto Founder & CEO. «As a result of this consumer shift, we’re altering our journalism efforts to move beyond simple product recommendations to include more socially conscious reasons for recommending certain brands over others.» Alfaro also acknowledged, «Our readers demand responsible and transparent reporting – they understand they are voting with their wallets.»

The series is being developed both through Autoproyecto’s in-house editorial research team and interviews with the top ten automotive brands by sales volume to Hispanics. It will be hosted at on a special section titled Hispanidad on Autoproyecto’s homepage and promoted through Autoproyecto’s 360 media ecosystem: Autoproyecto.com, social channels, podcasts, OTT channels (Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV), and national / cable television (NBC Telemundo and CNN Espanol).

According to the Selig Center for Economic Growth, the $1.5 trillion Hispanic market is the largest ethnic market in the U.S., and includes more than one out of every six Americans.

Overall, the Hispanic population has a younger median age, over-indexes on digital platform use, enjoys rising incomes and demonstrates higher population growth when compared to the general market. According to various census and car buying reports, Hispanics represent 18% of the US population, yet account for 24% of all car sales and have the potential to buy more cars over their lifetime than non-hispanics.

«The series was developed to address the lack of information on Hispanics with respect to the automotive industry,» added Alfaro. «The 2010 Census created a lot of energy around marketing to Hispanics but since 2015, information and access to information has declined.  With the 2020 Census around the corner, we believe there will be renewed interest in the Hispanic community and we plan to be at the forefront by reporting information that helps automotive marketers reach this demographic more effectively.»

The Hispanic community has been referred to as the sleeping giant because of its untapped potential. Nowhere is this more evident than the Hispanic automotive market.

Food Safety When Eating Outdoors

SILVER SPRING, Md., July 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Plans to enjoy a picnic, barbeque, or meal under the summer sun? Remember to practice social distancing (stay 6 feet apart from others you don’t live with) and follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s

SILVER SPRING, Md., July 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Plans to enjoy a picnic, barbeque, or meal under the summer sun? Remember to practice social distancing (stay 6 feet apart from others you don’t live with) and follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s safety precautions to protect yourself and others from COVID-19, a respiratory illness that is spread from person-to-person, unlike foodborne viruses that can make people sick from contaminated food. Also remember to pack your picnic basket with food safety in mind, as foodborne bacteria that cause food poisoning (also known as foodborne illness) multiply faster in warm weather.

Follow these tips to keep your food safe when eating outdoors:

Before your picnic

  • Defrost meat, poultry, and seafood in the refrigerator or by submerging sealed packages in cold water. You can also microwave-defrost, but only if the food will be grilled immediately afterward.
  • Marinate foods in the fridge not the countertop. Never reuse marinade that touched raw foods unless you boil it first or set some of the marinade aside before marinating food to use for sauce later.
  • Wash all produce before eating, even if you plan to peel it. The knife you use to peel it can carry bacteria into the part you eat. Fruits and vegetables that are pre-cut or peeled should be refrigerated or kept on ice to maintain quality and safety.
  • If your picnic site doesn’t offer clean water access, bring water or pack moist towels for cleaning surfaces and hands. Don’t forget to pack a food thermometer!

Packing coolers

  • Place food from the refrigerator directly into an insulated cooler immediately before leaving home.
  • Use ice or ice packs to keep your cooler at 40 °F or below.
  • Pack raw meat, poultry, and seafood in a separate cooler, or wrap it securely and store at the bottom of the cooler where the juices can’t drip onto other foods. Place beverages in a separate cooler; this will offer easy drink access while keeping perishable food coolers closed.
  • Avoid loading coolers in the trunk of the car, as it can collect heat. Once at the picnic site, keep food in coolers until serving time (out of direct sun) and avoid opening the lids often.

Grilling

  • Have clean utensils and platters available. Cook meat, poultry, and seafood to the right temperatures ─ use a food thermometer to be sure (see Safe Minimum Cooking Temperatures Chart). Keep cooked meats hot at 140 °F or warmer until serving time — set them to the side of the grill rack to keep them hot.
  • When removing foods from the grill, place them on a clean platter.
  • Never use the same platter and utensils for cooked food that you used for raw meat, poultry, or seafood.

Time and temperature 
Don’t let hot or cold food sit in the «Danger Zone» (between 40 °F and 140 °F) for more than 2 hours – or 1 hour if the outdoor temperature is above 90 °F. If they do, throw them away.

Medicaid And CHIP Give Parents Peace Of Mind If Children/Teens Are Sick Or Get Injured

BALTIMORE, July 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Millions of children in the United States don’t have health coverage. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for them to access the care they need if they get sick or injured. But, the majority of the nation’s uninsured children up to age 19 are eligible for free or low-cost health coverage through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) offered in their state.

BALTIMORE, July 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Millions of children in the United States don’t have health coverage. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for them to access the care they need if they get sick or injured. But, the majority of the nation’s uninsured children up to age 19 are eligible for free or low-cost health coverage through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) offered in their state. With Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), parents get the peace of mind that comes with knowing their children can get preventive health care to stay healthy.

Experience the interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/8739451-connecting-kids-to-coverage-medicaid-chip/ 

Parents can rest easier knowing medical bills won’t jeopardize the family’s financial security. They can apply for the comprehensive benefits these programs provide at any time of the year. This includes doctor’s appointments, hospital visits, prescriptions, immunizations, dental visits, mental health services, and more. Parents may also be eligible for Medicaid, even if they have applied in the past. In most states, families of four earning up to nearly $50,000 (or even higher in some states) may qualify for either Medicaid or CHIP.

Children who have health insurance generally have better health throughout their childhood and into their teens, leaving parents and guardians with one less thing to worry about. Children covered under CHIP are also more likely to have a usual source of care, including dental care, and are more likely to have had a well-child visit in the past year relative to children without insurance.1

To help people learn more about CHIP and Medicaid, the Campaign developed a suite of resources, including an animated video showing families and why  health coverage is important for the expected and unexpected. Print-ready elements, social media content for external outreach, and a web-button that directs audiences to resources to find coverage are also available.

Additional Peace of Mind materials are available at InsureKidsNow.gov.

Hip Hop Public Health Launches 20 Segundos o Más Music Video PSA And Education Initiative To Address The Growing Rise Of COVID-19 In Latino Communities Nationwide

NEW YORK, July 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Fresh from the breakthrough success of the 20 Seconds or More education and awareness campaign that reached over 100 million people when it launched in spring 2020, <a target="_blank"…

NEW YORK, July 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Fresh from the breakthrough success of the 20 Seconds or More education and awareness campaign that reached over 100 million people when it launched in spring 2020, Hip Hop Public Health (HHPH) today announced 20 Segundos o Más, a new bi-lingual Spanish and English song and music video PSA featuring a fusion of Latin rhythms and Hip Hop beats delivering important safety information about COVID-19.  As summer heats up along with the soaring number of COVID-19 cases within the Latino community, 20 Segundos o Más is designed to encourage and inspire Latinos nationwide to follow the handwashing and other protocols necessary to stop the spread of the deadly disease that disproportionately affects them and other communities of color. Dr. Olajide Williams, Chief of Staff, Department of Neurology, New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and Doug E. Fresh are the Co-Founders of HHPH and are spearheading the initiative with HHPH Executive Director and CEO, Lori Rose Benson. Philanthropic support for the initiative has been provided by the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation and the Organization for Latino Achievement (OLA), an employee resource group at Bristol Myers Squibb. 

The focal point of 20 Segundos o Más is a lively, four-minute music video featuring pioneering rapper and community health advocate, Doug E. Fresh, with more than 30 community influencers and activists who are committed to making a difference through creative expression, civic duty and medicine. These include: Gloria Estefan, Emilio Estefan, Chris Tucker,  «King of the Latin Beats» DJ TedSmooth, singers Lisa Lisa, George Lamond, Amara La Negra, MJ Songstress (Melissa Jimenez) of «The Voice,» DJ Camilo and Tee, Freedom Williams, Universal Hip Hop Museum Executive Director Rocky Bucano, Bronx Borough President Rubén Díaz Jr., Angie Rose, Love and Hip Hop New York’s Jonathan Fernandez, Amaya Murillo, Inspector Reymundo Mundo, Commanding Officer of the NYPD 34th Precinct, Liseth Perez, influencer Jennifer Mercedes, rapper N.O.R.E. (a.k.a. Victor Santiago) of Capone-N-Noreaga, 72 Miles to Go playwright  Hilary Bettis and more. 20 Segundos o Más features verses written and performed by a new generation of Latin musical artists. Performing on the track are Dose, Fabián, Leisley and Toby Love. Their spirited rapping flow blended with perfectly pitched harmonies create an uplifting experience throughout. The entire production features artists and influencers who represent the full depth, breadth and diversity of the Latino diaspora. For artist bios and full list of participants visit www.hhph.org/20SegundosOMas.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics, the percentage of Latinos making up coronavirus cases is almost equal to whites, around 34%, despite Latinos being a significantly smaller portion of the population. In June alone, the cases have nearly tripled.

«While Hispanics represent 18% of the U.S. population, using weighted population distributions, approximately 27% of the deaths from COVID-19 have been Hispanic, and in many counties these disparities will continue to increase due to the explosion in infection rates among this group,» says Dr. Olajide Williams. «Hispanic Americans are disproportionately contracting COVID-19, because of comorbid conditions including diabetes, dense multigenerational living conditions that prohibit effective social distancing and quarantine, and disproportionate representation among essential frontline workers such as the meat packing and poultry industries, delivery industry, warehouses, and grocery stores. Moreover, unlike other groups, the fear of getting tested or seeking medical attention due to immigration status is also a contributing factor to COVID-19 disparities afflicting the Hispanic community.»

Says Doug E. Fresh, «What you get with 20 Segundos o Más is the ultimate expression of Latin rhythms and Hip-Hop message delivery. DJ TedSmooth and I purposely selected the song’s universally loved Latin hook, the big horns backing the classic Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe masterpiece, La Murga. This catchy hook combined with the information in the song will definitely get people to dance and hopefully adhere to our message of hope, vitality and taking care of themselves and each other. Once again, Hip Hop Public Health is bringing together art, science and social media innovation to help fight the COVID-19 health pandemia

With roots in the Dominican Republic and a music career that spans decades, DJ TedSmooth (Teddy Rafael Mendez) adds, «It was an honor to collaborate with Hip Hop Public Health and my old friend Doug E. Fresh on this track for mi gente. Latino roots and culture run deep, and to have legends like Lisa Lisa, DJ Camilo and Greg Lamond with some of the new voices out here coming together to protect our people against the coronavirus is an incredibly meaningful experience. I know we can make a difference together.»

In addition to the song and video, HHPH has created multiple opportunities for the public to get involved in the 20 Segundos o Más movement. Throughout the summer, HHPH will host a series of virtual viewing parties in key cities and communities affected most, including New York, Miami, Houston and Puerto Rico. These will be held in conjunction with a variety of cultural and professional organizations.

«Since our founding 16 years ago, Hip Hop Public Health has been committed to creating culturally responsive content backed by science and research to affect change and to engender positive health behaviors amongst communities that have long been overlooked or not adequately serviced,» says Lori Rose Benson, Executive Director and CEO. «In the face of the coronavirus pandemic, we produced the song 20 Seconds or More in response to messaging failures governing this crisis. Now, with the Latino community so devastatingly affected, we are launching 20 Segundos o Más with the goal of inspiring many millions of Spanish-speaking and bilingual people to join this movement and help stop the spread.»

While the campaign is focusing on communities in the U.S. most impacted by COVID-19, HHPH is also conducting outreach and sharing the 20 Segundos o Más video and education campaign components in communities across Latin America, including Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Colombia and Peru, among others.

The 20 Segundos o Más video was produced by IDEKO, a New York-based experiential production agency. To learn more, please visit www.hhph.org and follow HHPH on social at @hhphorg #20SegundosOMas.
