AJ Foyt Racing will celebrate America’s 250th birthday in 2026 by racing its famous No. 14 Chevrolet with a patriotic livery for the entire NTT INDYCAR SERIES season in a campaign to raise funds for Homes For Our Troops (HFOT).

Homes For Our Troops (hfotusa.org) is a publicly funded 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide to severely injured post-9/11 veterans. Most of these veterans have sustained injuries, including multiple limb amputations, partial or full paralysis, blindness, severe burns, and/or severe traumatic brain injury.

The Foyt team and Homes For Our Troops enjoyed resounding success in their campaign surrounding the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge, which led to extending this program throughout the entire 2026 season with new partners Hendricks Commercial Properties and Geronimo Hospitality Group. Hendricks Holding Co., Inc. is the parent company of the new partners and of former partner, ABC Supply Co., Inc.

Over the past four Indianapolis 500 campaigns, ABC Supply Co.’s $1 million annual matching pledge has helped raise nearly $15 million for Homes For Our Troops.

“We are proud to partner with AJ Foyt Racing in support of Homes For Our Troops, a cause that truly reflects our values and the values of the Hendricks family,” said Rob Gerbitz, CEO and president of Hendricks Commercial Properties and Geronimo Hospitality Group. “We’re honored to help advance HFOT's mission to build homes for our nation’s deserving veterans.”

Santino Ferrucci will drive the No. 14 Chevrolet for a fourth season in 2026, starting at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on Sunday, March 1 on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida.

"I'm incredibly excited that Homes For Our Troops will be on the 14 car for the full season, especially as we celebrate America's 250th birthday,” Ferrucci said. “It's a huge deal, not just for the team and myself, but to drive a car in the American flag livery all year long is an honor and a privilege.

“We're committed to raising awareness and money, lots of it, for our severely injured post-9/11 veterans, who've sacrificed so much for this country to protect the freedoms we enjoy."

Said Larry Foyt, AJ Foyt Racing president: "What an amazing program. We couldn't be prouder to continue our long relationship with the Hendricks family as well as continuing the inspiring experience of working with Homes For Our Troops. I can't say enough about how much Diane Hendricks and her daughter Konya (Hendricks Schuh) have supported our team and INDYCAR over the years. It will be an honor to represent their hospitality and commercial properties brands.”

The fund-raising initiative started in 2022 with the NTT INDYCAR SERIES team founded by motorsports icon A.J. Foyt. ABC Supply, which first backed AJ Foyt Racing in 2005 and expanded its sponsorship to a two-car team in 2015, curtailed its program during the global pandemic to just the Indianapolis 500. In 2022, the wholesale distributor of exterior building products dedicated its primary sponsorship to Homes For Our Troops.

Diane Hendricks, co-founder of ABC Supply and its parent company, Hendricks Holding Co., Inc., spearheaded the marketing campaign that pledged up to $1 million in matching donations during the 10 days leading up to the Indy 500.

In its inaugural year, more than $2 million was raised to build specially adapted homes for severely injured post-9/11 veterans. The campaign’s tremendous success led to annual May campaigns, with the top-fundraising occurring in 2024 with over $5 million raised, exceeding the goal of $4 million.

“We extend our sincere gratitude to Hendricks Commercial Properties for their generous sponsorship and support,” says HFOT President/CEO Brigadier General, USA (Ret) Tom Landwermeyer. “As we look ahead to the 2026 racing season, we’re excited to build on this collaboration, which will play a vital role in raising awareness and advancing our mission of Building Homes and Rebuilding Lives for our nation’s severely injured post-9/11 veterans.”
