Alliance Motorsports has signed veteran Mike Potekhen to drive the team's No. 24 eFusion Energy Club entry in the Firestone Freedom 100 May 22 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

"We are very excited to have Mike drive the eFusion Energy Club car at the Firestone Freedom 100, and are hoping to make this a long term relationship," said Jeff Matthews, co-owner of Alliance Motorsports. "I've known Mike for several years and actually met him before he started competing in Firestone Indy Lights. I knew back then that I wanted to work with him, and I finally get that opportunity."

Potekhen, 29, will be competing in his 27th Firestone Indy Lights event. He has scored three top-five finishes. His best finish in the Firestone Freedom 100 was sixth in 2007.

"I am very excited to be back in the series and am looking forward to driving for Alliance," Potekhen said. "Jeff and I have been working on a program for several years, and I am grateful that one has come together. We have a great team and a great corporate partner in the eFusion Energy Club, and I look forward to giving them a good performance."
