AJ Foyt Racing’s Santino Ferrucci in the No.14 Sexton Properties Chevrolet goes into this weekend’s Children’s of Alabama Indy Grand Prix at Barber Motorsports Park off the back of Jostens biggest mover award at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.
“Barber’s got a lot of really unique features including the elevation changes, the big braking zones which go into high-speed corners and on the back side turns 12 and 13 it’s all high speed and no brakes so you’re just trying to trust the car because you have to be on the limit. It’s got a lot of passing zones and that makes it a lot of fun. Normally, this race happens to be a split strategy race, so that shake things up. So it’s always a lot of fun to be racing there. (Favorite artwork on the course?) I like the big spider in the center. It’s cool and it’s the only thing you really see when you’re driving except for Georgina when she falls. She’s back–I saw her at testing. Testing was okay, we weren’t as quick as we’d like to have been. I think we learned a lot but we’ve made a lot of progression since then.”
David Malukas missed out on racing here last season but is looking forward to seeing what progress Foyt has made since the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.
Can’t wait to head back to Barber after the short break! It’s been a while since I’ve raced there after missing out in 2024. However, we’ve been able to test there and I’ve spent a lot of time practicing on the sim. Excited to see the progress we’ve made with the car on track!”
