AJ Foyt Racing announced a driver change for the 2027 IndyCar season, confirming that IndyCar Rookie of the Year Dennis Hauger will join the team. The move comes as the team parts ways with Matteo Ferrucci, who will not retain his full‑time seat. The signing gives the team a proven talent after Hauger earned Rookie of the Year honors in his debut season.

Management indicated the decision aligns with its competitive goals for 2027. Ferrucci is now seeking a part‑time opportunity with Foyt, according to RACER. The team’s lineup for 2027 therefore stands with Hauger as the confirmed full‑time driver and Ferrucci’s future role still unresolved.

Ferrucci’s pursuit of a part‑time seat reflects his intent to stay involved in the series, though no specific schedule has been announced.
