AJ Foyt Racing and Hendricks Holding Company Extend Historic Partnership with Multi-Year Agreement
INDIANAPOLIS (Sept. 30, 2026) — AJ Foyt Racing announced today a multi-year agreement with Hendricks Holding Company, Inc., the Beloit, Wisconsin-based private investment firm whose portfolio includes ABC Supply Co., Inc., Hendricks Commercial Properties, Geronimo Hospitality Group, and other manufacturing, construction, and transportation companies. The agreement extends a relationship that began with ABC Supply in 2005 and will continue the Hendricks family's support of the No. 14 Homes For Our Troops Chevrolet and its national platform for America's severely injured post-9/11 Veterans.
Since the 2022 Indianapolis 500, the Hendricks family and its companies have used AJ Foyt Racing entries to spotlight Homes For Our Troops (HFOT), whose mission is to build and donate mortgage-free, specially adapted custom homes to severely injured post-9/11 Veterans. The effort began when ABC Supply donated the design of the No. 11 Chevrolet to HFOT for the 2022 Indianapolis 500 and paired the program with a matching-donation campaign.
The partnership expanded in 2026 to a full-season No. 14 Homes For Our Troops Chevrolet, supported by Hendricks Commercial Properties and Geronimo Hospitality Group, giving HFOT a national platform throughout the NTT INDYCAR Series season.
“On behalf of Hendricks Holding and the entire Hendricks family, we are honored to continue our relationship with AJ Foyt Racing and our commitment to Homes for Our Troops and all Veterans,” said Konya (Hendricks) Schuh, Co-Chairperson of the Hendricks Holding Company Board of Directors.
The relationship between the Hendricks family and AJ Foyt Racing dates to 2005, when ABC Supply founders Ken and Diane Hendricks began a marketing partnership with A.J. Foyt's team. What began as sponsorship of the No. 14 has evolved across more than two decades into a relationship that will enter its 23rd season in 2027, encompassing racing, hospitality, customer engagement and support for Homes For Our Troops.
“We are extremely proud to continue our relationship with the Hendricks family," said Team President Larry Foyt. "I want to personally thank Diane, Konya Hendricks Schuh, and Brent Fox for their continued commitment to AJ Foyt Racing and their belief in what we are building together. With Hendricks, Chevrolet and General Motors, we are fortunate to have partners who share our belief in the future of this team and the sport."
"It is an honor to not only represent their companies," Foyt continued, "but to also spread awareness of Homes For Our Troops and their mission of helping severely injured Veterans rebuild their lives. The HFOT organization has become near and dear to the hearts of AJ Foyt Racing team members and race fans. My recent appointment as an HFOT Board Ambassador makes that commitment very personal to me."
Since its inception in 2004, Homes For Our Troops has built and donated 445 homes in 46 states and currently has 66 projects underway. HFOT homes feature more than 40 major special adaptations, including wider halls and doorways, automatic door openers, roll-under sinks, stovetops and counters, pull-down shelving, roll-in showers, backup generators and safe rooms. These adaptations are designed to enable Veterans to live more independently and focus on family, recovery and future opportunities.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Hendricks family and their companies for their longstanding commitment to Homes For Our Troops and our Nation’s severely injured post-9/11 Veterans,” said HFOT President/CEO Brigadier General, USA (Ret) Tom Landwermeyer.
“Their continued partnership with AJ Foyt Racing has generously given us an extraordinary national platform to raise awareness of our mission of Building Homes and Rebuilding Lives for these injured Veterans and their families. I have seen firsthand the tremendous commitment, hard work and American pride that both organizations bring to this partnership and their support of our nation’s Veterans. We are humbled and proud to have their continued dedicated support and to work together to help more deserving injured Veterans and their families move forward.”
Homes For Our Troops receives no federal or state funding and relies on support from individuals and corporate partners committed to serving Veterans. Nearly 90 cents of every dollar spent has gone directly to program services for Veterans.
The No. 14 Homes For Our Troops Chevrolet will be driven in 2027 by Dennis Hauger, the 23-year-old Norwegian who earned 2026 NTT INDYCAR Series Rookie of the Year honors. Hauger, the 2025 INDY NXT by Firestone champion, has raced in the United States since 2025 and joins AJ Foyt Racing on a multi-year agreement.
Foyt concluded, "We are proud of the history we share, but even more excited about what we can accomplish together in the years ahead."
The 2027 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season opens Sunday, March 7 on the Streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, with all series races again scheduled to air on FOX.
