“Sondi’s past accomplishments as both
the first and only female USAC champion, her
 commitment
to excellence in both her personal and professional life, and Sondi’s
‘unbeatable’ attitude are what attracted her to us for this
partnership” comments Old National Bancorp President and CEO Bob
Jones. “Motorsports is an important part of Indiana’s economy and, as
the largest bank holding company headquartered in Indiana, Old
National wants to associate itself with the industry and one of its
most promising drivers, Sondi Eden,” Jones continues.
“Old National’s ‘unbeatable’ attitude,
its reputation as a first-class financial institution and the
company’s commitment to promoting opportunities for women make this
association ‘a natural’ for a female driver, like me” comments Sondi
Eden. “When I first met Bob (CEO Bob Jones) it was clear that his
sincerity for my success was genuine. It’s my hope that Old
National’s customers see a clear connection between my winning
attitude and their bank’s commitment to putting their customers
first.”
