AJ Foyt Racing extends partnership with Hendricks Holding Company, announced September 30, securing backing for the No. 14 Homes For Our Troops Chevrolet across the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.

The tie-up continues a sponsorship lineage dating to 2005 via ABC Supply, part of the Hendricks portfolio, anchoring Foyt’s commercial base through multiple competitive cycles.

Hendricks brands will front a national campaign supporting severely injured post-9/11 veterans, using Foyt entries as the program’s flagship activation on race weekends.

Awareness work starts at the 2022 Indianapolis 500, when ABC Supply backed the No. 11 Chevrolet and a donation match. The initiative scales to a full-season platform in 2026.

That expansion brings Hendricks Commercial Properties and Geronimo Hospitality Group onto the No. 14, creating year-round continuity and greater sponsor touchpoints at tracks and hospitality venues.

The full-season presence strengthens HFOT visibility across a growing calendar, aligning with the series’ record metrics in 2026 and amplifying donation opportunities.

It also arrives amid notable INDYCAR coverage growth, improving reach for charitable storytelling and sponsor ROI during broadcast windows and digital content.

HFOT, founded in 2004, builds and donates mortgage-free, specially adapted homes for veterans with severe injuries, targeting independence and family stability.

Each build incorporates more than 40 adaptations, including widened access, roll-in showers, roll-under workspaces, automated doors, pull-down shelving, backup power, and safe rooms.

From 2027, the No. 14 will be driven by Dennis Hauger, 23, whose rapid progression includes the 2025 INDY NXT title and the 2026 top-rookie honor.

Hauger’s recruitment provides competitive continuity and a clear sporting narrative for partners, detailed in the team’s Hauger announcement.

For Foyt, the renewed deal stabilizes funding and activation inventory, supporting on-track performance goals while sustaining HFOT messaging at every round.

For Hendricks, the program blends community impact with brand visibility, leveraging race-week traffic, team hospitality, and driver engagements to convert awareness into donations.

The collaboration keeps the No. 14 as a rolling ambassador, joining competition with a cause that remains visible from street circuits to ovals nationwide.
