A.J. Foyt Racing (A.J. Foyt - left) has hired veteran J.R. Hildebrand (right) to race the ovals on the IndyCar schedule beginning next weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. Hildebrand drove the No. 1 ABC Supply Chevrolet in last year's Indianapolis 500. The livery was designed to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of Foyt's first of four Indy 500 victories in 1961.

AJ Foyt Racing (AJFR) has always had a challenge in being able to field a team that would be able to match the competitive output of teams that traditionally are better financed, had more driving talent fielded to draw from for set-up information in their paddock, as well as many other factors that enter into placing a multi-car team to gain wins during the course of a traditional 16-20 race season.
