AJ Foyt Racing Secures Season-Long Sponsorship for No. 14 Car
AJ Foyt Racing announced a new full-season sponsorship agreement for the No. 14 Chevrolet, driven by Santino Ferrucci, in the 2026 IndyCar Series. The partnership with Hendricks Commercial Properties and Geronimo Hospitality Group aims to promote the Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) initiative throughout the 17-race season.
This sponsorship aligns with a longer-term community development strategy inspired by the companies’ successful restoration projects in Beloit, Wisconsin, and the Bottleworks District in Indianapolis. Geronimo Hospitality Group is also known for its boutique hotels and restaurants across several states, including Idaho and California.
Notably, this arrangement continues a legacy of support for HFOT by the Hendricks family, who maintain ties with the former primary sponsor of Foyt Racing, ABC Supply Company. Although ABC stepped back as a full-time sponsor after the 2020 season, it remained involved at the Indy 500, initially funding the No. 14 car and later shifting to a patriotic livery to boost HFOT fundraising efforts in 2022.
Rob Gerbitz, CEO and President of both Hendricks Commercial Properties and Geronimo Hospitality Group, expressed pride in the partnership, stating, “We are honored to help advance HFOT’s mission to build homes for our nation’s deserving veterans.”
To date, nearly $15 million has been raised through the Foyt team’s involvement with HFOT. Ferrucci emphasized the significance of the deal, saying, “Driving a car in the American flag livery all year long is an honor. We’re committed to raising awareness and funds for our severely injured post-9/11 veterans.”
This strategic sponsorship, grounded in patriotic themes, underscores the broader commitment of the motorsports community to support veterans.
