The team has worked hard to replace the ROKiT sponsorship since it disappeared from the #14 and #11 cars following the eighth round of the season at Road America. The shortfall in funding has meant legendary team owner AJ Foyt and son Larry, team president, have had to put on ice the #11 car which was raced by Tatiana Caleron on road and street courses and by JR Hildebrand on ovals.
Today the team revealed that the Bommarito Automotive Group, which has sponsored the IndyCar race at Gateway since the series returned to the short oval after a 16-year hiatus, has signed as “primary marketing partner” of AJ Foyt Racing's No. 14 Chevrolet for the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 at World Wide Technology Raceway August 19-20. Rebel Bourbon will serve as an associate sponsor.
“We are honored to be a part of bringing the NTT IndyCar Series to the St. Louis region,” said John Bommarito, president of Bommarito Automotive Group. “Thanks to the support of race fans across the country, we’ve demonstrated that when you win on the weekend it generates sales Monday.
