. SantinoFerrucci 'up to the challenge' of regularly driving AJFoytRacing into the Top 10 in the 2023 IndyCar season
Ferrucci has had a peculiar career since returning to the U.S. following his aborted spell in Formula 2, back in 2018. He impressed on his first outings with Dale Coyne Racing, and was retained by the squad for two years, scoring fourth places at Texas, Pocono, Gateway and in the 2019 Indianapolis 500.
Now Foyt has signed him for a full season, and at the age of 24 he has effectively become team leader, partnering teammate Benjamin Pedersen, an Indy Lights graduate. Regarding the task ahead, of transforming Foyt’s team into regular top 10 performers, Ferrucci says: “We just needed some organization. I had this chat with Larry [Foyt, team president] a while ago. The team has all the fundamentals to really put a good car out there.
