Foyt's No.14 gets a new look for 2026
The AJ Foyt Racing team has secured new season-long sponsorship for the No. 14 Chevy driven by Santino Ferrucci.
“For 2026, Hendricks Commercial Properties and Geronimo Hospitality Group have taken charge and committed to a full-season marketing partnership to raise awareness for Homes For Our Troops throughout the IndyCar Series 17-race season,” the Foyt team wrote in a statement.
“The companies will also use the program to foster community development inspired by their successful restoration projects in Beloit, Wisconsin, where they are headquartered, and the Bottleworks District in Indianapolis. Geronimo Hospitality Group owns and operates a growing collection of boutique hotels and restaurants across Idaho, Indiana, California, and Wisconsin.”
It’s a unique business arrangement where the two companies fall under the umbrella of Hendricks Holding Company, which also serves as the parent company for former primary Foyt sponsor ABC Supply Company.
Despite stepping back as the Foyt’s full-time sponsor after the 2019 IndyCar season, ABC made annual returns for the Indy 500, where it funded the No. 14 car as ABC in 2021 before shifting to a new plan in 2022 to sponsor the car while using a patriotic livery to promote and raise donations for Homes For Our Troops (HFOT).
Coming full circle, Hendricks has taken the ABC-inspired HFOT campaign reserved for May’s Indy 500 and backed the No. 14 for the entire year while keeping the patriotic colors and turning the benevolent HFOT effort into a season-long initiative.
“We are proud to partner with AJ Foyt Racing in support of Homes For Our Troops, a cause that truly reflects our values and the values of the Hendricks family,” said Rob Gerbitz, CEO and President of Hendricks Commercial Properties and Geronimo Hospitality Group.
“We’re honored to help advance HFOT's mission to build homes for our nation’s deserving veterans.”
Almost $15 million has been raised for HFOT through the Foyt’s IndyCar program.
"I'm incredibly excited that Homes For Our Troops will be on the 14 car for the full season, especially as we celebrate America's 250th birthday,” Ferrucci said.
“It's a huge deal, not just for the team and myself, but to drive a car in the American flag livery all year long is an honor and a privilege. We're committed to raising awareness and money, lots of it, for our severely injured post-9/11 Veterans, who've sacrificed so much for this country to protect the freedoms we enjoy."
