ABC Supply, AJ Foyt Racing Help Raise $4.7 Million for Injured Veterans
INDYCAR Indy 500 Spotlight Fuels Support for Homes For Our Troops ABC Supply Co., Inc., has announced that $4.7 million was raised for Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) as part of a significant fundraising effort in May for National Military Appreciation Month and in conjunction with the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge. ABC Supply, an HFOT Platinum Partner, matched all donations up to $1 million during May. ABC Supply has a longstanding partnership with AJ Foyt Racing, which fields two cars in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. Several HFOT veterans took part in Race Weekend's thrilling activities at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. They received exclusive access to a garage tour of the No. 14 AJ Foyt Racing Chevrolet driven by Santino Ferrucci, walked the iconic Yard of Bricks and enjoyed a premier view of the stars-and-stripes-clad HFOT car racing to an impressive fifth-place finish by Ferrucci. The largest television audience since 2008 also watched the '500' and saw the patriotic livery on FOX. "We are beyond grateful for ABC Supply's sponsorship and support during the 2025 Indy 500," HFOT President/CEO Brig. Gen. USA (Ret) Tom Landwermeyer. "Their generous $1 million match was instrumental to raising $4.7 million during the month of May, and the patriotic livery of the No. 14 AJ Foyt Racing Chevy gave incredible visibility to our mission of Building Homes and Rebuilding Lives." ABC Supply has ardently supported HFOT since 2020 and donated the design of the INDYCAR SERIES car to generate awareness of the organization's mission of building and donating specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 veterans, enabling them to rebuild their lives. HFOT has built over 410 specially adapted homes since its inception in 2004. 'Giving back to the community and honoring our veterans is at the heart of who we are,' said Mike Jost, president and chief operating officer at ABC Supply. 'The generosity we've seen throughout this campaign has been truly inspiring, and we are grateful to everyone who contributed to making a real difference for our veterans.' Said Ferrucci: 'It was an honor to drive the Homes For Our Troops car in the Indianapolis 500 and extremely rewarding to know that they not only met their goal but exceeded it – again. Raising over $4 million is incredible, and it will help a lot of our severely injured post-911 veterans. 'Those funds will go a very long way in building multiple houses for them, helping them financially and getting their lives back on track. At the end of the day, AJ Foyt Racing had a great Indianapolis 500, and Homes For Our Troops had an amazing one, as well.'

Santino Ferrucci's car flagged during post-race inspection after Detroit runner-up finish
The No. 14 Chevy of Santino Ferrucci and A.J. Foyt Racing was found to be under the required driver ballast weight following the team's runner-up finish at Sunday's Detroit Grand Prix, IndyCar announced Monday. Though Ferrucci and the No. 14 entry will be allowed to keep its runner-up finish, the entry has been fined $25,000 and has been docked both 25 entrant and driver points, as well as the bonus point for leading a lap. The No. 14 is also ineligible for engine points for Chevy, as well as prize money related to its runner-up finish. Advertisement In IndyCar, if a driver doesn't weigh 185 pounds, extra weight (termed ballast) is added to the car to equal that 185-pound threshold, in order to best level the playing field in terms of the car's race weight to not allow for significant advantages for drivers being lighter (unless they're around the 185-pound threshold). During post-race inspection of the No. 14 after the race, IndyCar discovered that the driver ballast required to bring the weight of Ferrucci and the ballast to 185 pounds was underweight and not within the weight tolerance of up to one pound. The car itself, though, was found to have been 10 pounds over the 1,785-pound minimum weight from road and street courses and competed over the minimum weight requirement during the race, IndyCar said in its Monday release. 'We should beat him': Kyle Kirkwood's win gives Andretti Global confidence it can beat Alex Palou The series found the No. 14 in violation of the following: Advertisement Rule 14.4.2. Driver Equivalency Weight Rule 14.4.2.2. Driver Equivalency Weight must bring the combined weight of the Driver and Driver ballast to 185 pounds. Rule 14.4.2.5. The Driver ballast weight tolerance is 0.00 to + 1.00 pounds. The Driver Equivalency Weight must be installed and secured in the designed location forward of the seatback. This location may only be used for Driver ballast. The penalty drops Ferrucci from 10th (144 points) in the championship to 15th (118 points) seven races into the 2025 season with World Wide Technology Raceway next June 15.
