AJ Foyt Racing has announced that it has hired Sting Ray Robb to drive for the team in the upcoming IndyCar season.
Robb was a rookie in 2023 driving for Dale Coyne Racing where he logged a season best finish of 12th in the season finale from Laguna Seca.
Prior to that, the Idaho-native spent two years in Indy Lights and finished second the championship in his final season driving the feeder series.
“I’m truly honored to pilot the No. 41 AJ Foyt Racing Chevrolet for the ‘24 season,” said Robb. “This is a dream come true to be driving for the legendary A.J. Foyt and his team under the leadership of Larry Foyt.
“It provides an opportunity for me to implement past lessons and carry momentum forward in my sophomore season as we enter a very competitive field of teams and drivers. Building together upon our successes, I am excited for the season ahead.
“To my family of partners and supporters thank you for being a part of this journey, we’ll continue to work hard and grow into what God has called us to be.”
Robb’s car, which will carry the #41, will be housed in Foyt’s Indianapolis shop just down the road from IMS.
The 22-year-old will be adjusting to a Chevrolet engine for the first time, and will prepare as much as he can ahead of his debut with the team in March.
“I’m looking forward to working with Sting Ray,” AJ Foyt Racing Team President Larry Foyt said. “I have to admit his name caught my eye when he was in the junior formulas, so I watched his rise through IndyCar’s ladder system where he did really well.
“I believe he is a great addition to our program and will showcase everything he learned in his rookie campaign in the NTT IndyCar Series.”
The driver of Foyt’s #14 entry has not yet been announced for the 2024 season.
