As the 2024 NTT INDYCAR SERIES looms closer, one team that has been generating buzz in the open-wheel racing world is AJ Foyt Racing. With a strong showing in the 2023 Indianapolis 500 and exciting developments in the team, they are poised for an impressive campaign in the upcoming season.
Last year’s Indianapolis 500, presented by Gainbridge, saw AJ Foyt Racing make their mark. Both Santino Ferrucci and rookie Benjamin Pedersen showcased their skills by qualifying for the Fast 12 Shootout. Ferrucci secured an impressive fourth starting position, leading 11 laps and finishing third, marking the team’s best result since 2000.
Looking ahead to the 2024 season, there are reasons to be excited about AJ Foyt Racing. Sting Ray Robb, entering his second year with the team, showed promise in the 2023 season finale with a 12th-place finish at the Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey. Another development is the new technical alliance between AJ Foyt Racing and powerhouse team Penske. This collaboration between two esteemed racing entities brings together a wealth of expertise, resources, and innovation. Furthermore, Santino Ferrucci’s impressive track record in the Indianapolis 500 cannot be overlooked. Despite driving for multiple teams, Ferrucci has consistently achieved top-10 finishes in the iconic race, with an average finish of 6.0 in five starts.
With their strong performance in the previous Indianapolis 500 and the exciting developments within the team, AJ Foyt Racing has the potential for a standout season in the 2024 NTT INDYCAR SERIES. Get ready for some thrilling racing moments from AJ Foyt Racing as they strive for success in the upcoming season.
