A.J. Foyt Racing is experiencing increased interest in its NTT IndyCar Series entries due to its recent technical partnership with Team Penske. The team has received inquiries from various drivers regarding its Chevy-powered cars, particularly the No. 14 entry driven by Santino Ferrucci. Team director Larry Foyt expressed a desire to maintain continuity with Ferrucci and ensure funding is secured before making any promises for next season. However, if there is a shortfall in funding, a possible alternative would be a rideshare scenario with Ferrucci handling ovals and another driver taking on road and street courses. The future of the No. 55 car driven by rookie Benjamin Pedersen remains uncertain due to rumored funding issues, and Foyt declined to comment on the situation. Despite a challenging rookie year for Pedersen, finishing last in the standings, there is a possibility for improvement if he continues with the team, or a well-funded driver may take his place.
