A.J. Foyt IV is the grandson of four-time Indianapolis 500 winner A.J. Foyt Jr. The four-time Indianapolis 500 winner participated in 35 consecutive years becoming one of the greatest drivers in the sport.
Like most racing drivers, Foyt IV started his career in karting. He made his IndyCar debut in 2003 and became the youngest driver to participate in the Indianapolis 500.
His early career was marked with struggles as A.J.Foyt Racing struggled during the 2004 season, and in 2005, he was switched out mid-season with Jeff Bucknum. He raced in NASCAR for seven races but was soon let go due to poor performance. He had a decent career at IndyCar after his return to the series in 2006 with Andretti Green Racing. The third-generation Foyt briefly raced for his grandfather's team in 2010 but left after a disagreement regarding the car's setup.

A.J. Foyt Racing speaks out after a costly mistake at the Detroit Grand Prix
A.J. Foyt Racing recently put out a statement after they were penalized with a $25,000 fine post the Detroit Grand Prix held on June 1. The penalty was handed out after Santino Ferrucci's #14 car was found to be underweight. This resulted in the team also losing their prize money. However, Ferrucci was able to retain his second-place finish.
The team later put out a statement explaining the situation. They highlighted that the car being underweight was unintentional and not to gain a competitive advantage. The statement read:
"We acknowledge and accept the penalty issued for being 1.8 pounds under the required driver ballast weight. This was an unintentional oversight, and we take full responsibility for the mistake. Our car was, in fact, 10 pounds over the minimum total weight, and the discrepancy in ballast was not intended to gain a competitive advantage."
"However, we recognize that compliance with every rule is critical to ensuring fairness in this sport, no matter how minor the deviation may seem. We are working closely with our technical team to strengthen our processes and ensure this does not happen again," it added.
A.J. Foyt Racing has been having a decent run this season.
