In a major coup for AJ Foyt Racing, the team announced on Tuesday that they have signed David Malukas to drive for the outfit on a multi-year contract starting in 2025.
Speaking about the development, AJ Foyt Racing Team President Larry Foyt said:
David will be a great addition to AJ Foyt Racing. “He is a fierce competitor who possesses a great deal of natural talent. I think David will be a super fit with our engineers and mechanics, and he will be an important factor as we continue to ascend the IndyCar rankings.”
Malukas who is currently competing for Meyer Shank Racing commented saying:
“I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to join AJ Foyt Racing. “The team has performed very well this season and I can’t wait to get to work with them and immerse myself in that environment.”“The history and success of both AJ Foyt Racing and A.J. Foyt himself were key factors in my decision to join the team. “Everyone knows that A.J. is a legend and he was someone whose name I always heard growing up. To have the opportunity to work alongside him and drive for his team is very special. I am starting a new chapter in my INDYCAR career, and I am eager to achieve strong results with AJ Foyt Racing.”
It has yet to be announced which of Foyt’s entries Malukas will be driving in 2025 but the team has experienced a massive turnaround in form in the past twelve months with Santino Ferrucci heading into this weekend’s Bommarito Automotive Group 500 at World Wide Technology Raceway in tenth place in championship standings.
