A.J. Foyt Racing announced Sting Ray Robb as their newest driver, without mentioning Benjamin Pedersen, who drove for the team as a rookie in 2023. Robb is meant to replace Pedersen, as the No. 55 number Pedersen used last season changes to the more familiar No. 41 in 2024. However, Pedersen claims the second Foyt seat and welcomes Robb to the team. During the team’s teleconference, team director Larry Foyt did not mention Pedersen until a reporter asked if Robb was replacing him, to which Foyt declined to provide specifics. Pedersen’s future with the Foyt team has been subject to speculation due to a difficult rookie season, but it remains unclear if there are any out-clauses in his contract.
