AJ Foyt Racing announced on Thursday that their NTT IndyCar Series rookie driver Benjamin Pedersen will the No.88 Sexton Properties Chevrolet for the 2023 season.
The Danish-American chose the No.88 in the same year that team owner and Series legend AJ Foyt turned 88.
Pedersen said:
I am excited to get on track in Thermal (Calif.) in just a few weeks with a livery that is recognizable with the iconic Coyote Red and a new car number to AJ Foyt Racing. “We wanted to keep with the traditional color and clean look that will resonate with fans of A.J. Foyt, while bringing a fresh new feel with the number 88. It’s also a special week for the 88 as we celebrate A.J.’s 88th birthday!”
