Prior to joining Foyt, Armbrester had experience working with Juncos Racing’s Indy NXT program and Dale Coyne Racing as an assistant race engineer. For the upcoming season, Foyt is still working on finalizing their driver and engineering assignments for both cars, with decisions on who Armbrester and another newcomer, Roberto Garcia, will work with. Additionally, Foyt Racing has entered into a partnership with Team Penske, whereby Penske will provide technical assistance to Foyt, and in return, Foyt will prepare to run a third car on behalf of Penske in the future, with the potential for this car to hit the track as early as 2025. Myles Rowe, the 2023 USF Pro 2000 champion, who is part of Penske’s diversity initiative, is expected to join the Foyt-Penske entry in Indy NXT once he is ready to graduate, and Penske will provide additional support to aid in their IndyCar development.
