Foyt Team and New Partners Launch Fundraiser for Homes For Our Troops

AJ Foyt Racing will mark America’s 250th in 2026 by running a patriotic No. 14 Chevrolet for the full NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, supporting Homes For Our Troops fundraising.

Homes For Our Troops builds and donates specially adapted houses for severely injured post‑9/11 veterans, including those with amputations, paralysis, blindness, severe burns, or traumatic brain injuries.

The initiative grows from the Indianapolis 500 programme into a season-long effort, adding Hendricks Commercial Properties and Geronimo Hospitality Group alongside long-time backer Hendricks Holding.

ABC Supply’s $1 million matching pledge during Indy 500 week has underpinned fundraising momentum, contributing to a cumulative total approaching $15 million over the last four years.

ABC Supply’s association dates to 2005, expanded in 2015, then narrowed to the Indianapolis 500 during the pandemic.

The first HFOT campaign topped $2 million and set a record in 2024 with more than $5 million, beating a $4 million target.

Santino Ferrucci continues as No. 14 driver for a fourth season, with the American flag livery to debut March 1 at St. Petersburg.

Ferrucci frames the programme as both honour and responsibility, with the car’s identity designed to amplify awareness and donations for injured veterans throughout 2026.

Team president Larry Foyt underscores the depth of support from the Hendricks family, highlighting representation of their hospitality and commercial brands during the expanded charity campaign.

Homes For Our Troops CEO Tom Landwermeyer welcomes the renewed backing, citing the partnership’s role in building homes and rebuilding lives across the United States.

Operationally, stable sponsorship and a unified livery support planning, testing, and development, while the cause-led platform should strengthen fan engagement without altering competitive regulations.

The campaign’s effectiveness ultimately rests on execution on and off track, but the structure is in place for sustained impact across the 2026 calendar.
