While Pedersen qualified well for the Indianapolis 500, that was the highlight of his season.

Paddock Eye understands that Foyt are keen to retain Santino Ferrucci for next season but would not be drawn on when the second driver would be announced.
Sting Ray Robb who brings considerable funding to the team will be based out of their Speedway race shop.
The 2024 season gets underway from March 8-10 with the Firestone Grand Prix of St Petersburg presented by RP Funding.
