INFINITI today announced that Dan Lasko, U.S. Marine Corps veteran, will run courtesy of the luxury automaker in the world's premier distance running event, the 123rd annual Boston Athletic Association's (B.A.A.) Boston Marathon. For the second year in a row, INFINITI sponsors the Boston Marathon and the 2019 QX50 luxury midsize crossover will lead runners past the finish line. "INFINITI is proud to again partner with the Boston Athletic Association and Semper Fi Fund for this year's Boston Marathon," said Tedros Mengiste, Regional Vice President, East Region for INFINITI USA. "This event recognizes some of our country's greatest heroes, and we are eager to see one of those heroes, Dan Lasko, cross the finish line." Lasko enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps on September 11, 2001 and served as a Corporal from 2001 to 2005. Lasko was later deployed with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. On April 24, 2004, Lasko's convoy was ambushed, and his vehicle struck two improvised exploding devices, which ultimately cost him his left leg below the knee. Determined to stay active and not let his injury keep him from his passion for sports, Lasko made a full recovery and went on to complete multiple triathlons and marathons.

INFINITI helped kick off the 24th annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance on Wednesday with a special delivery. A 2019 QX50 made the 600-mile journey from Nashville, home to INFINITI's North American headquarters, to Amelia Island, Fla., stowing four guitars owned by John Oates of the legendary rock duo, Hall & Oates. The guitars will be on display on March 10 in the Concours' "Cars of the Rock Stars" class, which Oates helped curate. INFINITI's hometown connection to the "Music City" and the world's first production variable compression engine and hand-crafted interior of the QX50 luxury crossover made for a perfect road trip for Oates' priceless guitars. In addition to its involvement with the "Cars of the Rock Stars" class, INFINITI will showcase its current SUV lineup at the event, including the 2019 INFINITI QX50 and QX80. As the brand is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, INFINITI will also display its forward-looking Prototype 10 concept, with a design that captures the spirit of early speedsters while also previewing INFINITI's future electrification plans, offering thrilling performance and extended range.
