After finishing third in the 109th Indianapolis 500, David Malukas expressed his excitement to perform and move past his injury. Malukas missed the first half of the 2024 IndyCar season due to torn ligaments in his left wrist from a mountain biking accident. Despite the setback, he signed a multiyear deal with AJ Foyt Racing in August 2024.
In the 2025 Indy 500, Malukas started strong, took the lead but ultimately finished third behind Alex Palou and Marcus Ericsson. The emotional result marked a significant comeback for Malukas after a challenging year that tested his resilience and maturity both on and off the track.
Following a rough start to the season with AJ Foyt Racing, Malukas is optimistic that his strong Indy 500 performance, along with teammate Santino Ferrucci’s seventh-place finish, will boost team morale and serve as a turning point for the upcoming races. Malukas sees the experience and hardships he’s faced as valuable lessons to propel him towards more success in the future.
