Team History

A.J. Foyt Enterprises is one of the oldest and most legendary teams in the history of American open-wheel racing. The team is owned by Anthony Joseph Foyt Jr. - better known simply as A.J. Foyt - who is widely regarded as the greatest American racing driver of all time. Born in Houston, Texas, in 1935, Foyt won the Indianapolis 500 four times as a driver (1961, 1964, 1967, 1977), tying a record that stood alone for decades and has since been matched only by Al Unser and Rick Mears. Foyt also won seven IndyCar championships, the 24 Hours of Daytona, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the 12 Hours of Sebring - making him one of the most versatile racing drivers in history.

After retiring from driving in 1993, Foyt continued in racing as a team owner. A.J. Foyt Enterprises has been a continuous presence in IndyCar for decades, fielding cars for a variety of drivers through multiple eras of the sport. While the team has not recaptured the championship glory of Foyt's driving days, it has remained a fixture on the grid and continues to compete with the heart and determination that Foyt himself brought to every race he entered. The team operates from its longtime base in Waller, Texas - far from the Indianapolis headquarters of most IndyCar teams - reflecting Foyt's independent Texas spirit.

A.J. Foyt, now in his 90s, remains actively involved in the team's operations and is a beloved figure in the IndyCar paddock. His presence at the track carries the weight of racing history - when Foyt walks through the garage, he represents a living link to the golden era of American racing. The team has provided opportunities for both veteran drivers and young talents over the years. For 2026, A.J. Foyt Enterprises fields two Chevrolet-powered entries with Brazilian prospect Caio Collet and American veteran Santino Ferrucci. While the team operates with a smaller budget than the series heavyweights, the Foyt name carries an authority and respect in the paddock that no amount of money can buy. Every lap turned by an A.J. Foyt entry honors the legacy of one of the greatest competitors the sport has ever known.
