AJ Foyt Racing’s Santino Ferrucci, driver of the No.14 Sexton Properties Chevrolet has moved into the top-ten in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES drivers standings following the Children’s Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park on Sunday.
Ferrucci had a fantastic day at Barber Motorsports Park as he came from 17th on the grid to finish the race inside the top ten in seventh place.
Ferrucci heads into the Month of May in tenth place in the championship on 58 points, just one point and position behind Barber winner Scott McLaughlin.
Speaking after Sunday’s race, Ferrucci said:
Solid day for us at AJ Foyt Racing. “Man, we had a fast Sexton Properties Chevy. Got all the way up to the lead, the strategy was phenomenal. It feels really good to come off of Long Beach where we had kind of missed everything a little bit on the strat side and then nail it today. If it weren’t for the late race caution at the end, we would’ve had a nice top five. That’s racing for us, and we’re looking forward to going into the GP with this momentum.”
Team President Larry Foyt commented on the race saying:
A great day and a tough day for the team. Santino drove a great race and the crew nailed their stops giving us a chance for a podium, maybe better. You never know how the yellows will fall and it cost us a little today. It’s tough and I feel for Sting Ray. He was driving a solid race when he had an issue. The team will do a deep dive and make sure we find the root of the issue.”
