Driver Appearances / A.J. Foyt
The Red Bull Air Race attracts celebrities and drivers from all types of motorsport to enjoy the weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In 2017, Indianapolis 500 champion Takuma Sato famously cheered fellow countryman Yoshi Muroya to victory at the track.
This year, the Red Bull Air Race has attracted one of racing’s most-famous figures, four-time Indianapolis 500 winner A.J. Foyt, to take on grand marshal duties for the event. Foyt will deliver a competition command from Race Control and meet pilots from the Red Bull Air Race World Championship, including fellow Texan Kirby Chambliss.
