Santino Ferrucci will spend a second season driving for AJ Foyt’s IndyCar team in 2024.
Foyt confirmed Ferrucci will complete its line-up alongside Sting Ray Robb, who has joined them following his debut season at Coyne.
Ferrucci will continue to drive the number 14 entry at the team, which entered into a technical alliance with Penske towards the end of last season. He finished 19th in the championship last year, which was his third full season in the category he first entered in 2018. He previously placed 13th in 2019 and 2020 with Coyne.
“I’m super stoked to be back with the team,” he said. “It’s really good to start building some continuity with everybody and I think it’s going to improve our results.”
Although the former Haas junior driver only appeared in the top 10 once all season, he did so at the series’ biggest race, the Indianapolis 500. Ferrucci’s third place is the best result of his IndyCar career to date. The team hasn’t achieved a better result in the race since Kenny Brack won it 25 years ago.
“My expectations for the year are to come out of the gate a lot more prepared than we were last year,” Ferrucci continued. “Working with Penske, things are hopefully going to be a lot smoother and I’m looking forward to being back at the Indy 500 again.”
Larry Foyt, team president, said he’s “very happy to have Santino back” for 2024. “We worked well together, and he brings a good energy to the team.
“Obviously, we have our eyes set on the Indy 500, but we also had some good pace in other races but didn’t get the results. Together we are focused on moving up in the championship standings and I believe we can achieve that.”
