April 2, 2026 – AJ Foyt Racing and Crosslink Motorsports have created a strategic partnership that will see Crosslink Motorsports serve as a driver development program for AJ Foyt Racing. 

The collaboration connects Crosslink Motorsports’ successful presence in junior formula categories with AJ Foyt Racing’s programs in both the NTT INDYCAR Series and INDY NXT by Firestone. It will provide aspiring drivers with a structured development ladder that includes the Formula 4 U.S. Championship and Formula Regional Americas Championship. 

Many drivers have competed in F4 and FR Americas en route to becoming INDYCAR stars including Kyle Kirkwood, David Malukas, Christian Rasmussen and Nolan Siegel. 

AJ Foyt Racing, one of the most historic teams in American motorsports, was founded by four-time Indianapolis 500 winner A.J. Foyt. The team has competed at the highest levels of open-wheel racing for decades and remains a cornerstone of the INDYCAR paddock. With programs currently competing in both the NTT INDYCAR Series and INDY NXT by Firestone, the organization continues its commitment to developing talent while building the next generation of drivers capable of competing at the sport’s highest level.

“Driver development has always been an important part of motorsports, and we’re excited to partner with Crosslink Motorsports to increase our commitment in that area,” said Larry Foyt, President of AJ Foyt Racing. “Gill and his team have done an excellent job developing young drivers, and this partnership allows us to connect those emerging talents with opportunities in INDY NXT and eventually the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. It’s about building the future of the sport.” 

Crosslink Motorsports has established itself as one of the premier driver development teams in North America. Winning many championships, Crosslink Motorsports has helped guide numerous drivers through the early stages of their careers, emphasizing racecraft, technical understanding, and professional preparation in motorsport.

“We’ve always believed strongly in developing drivers the right way, both on and off the track,” explained Gill Kaszuba, Owner of Crosslink Motorsports. “This partnership with AJ Foyt Racing creates an incredible opportunity for young drivers coming through the FIA ladder system to have a clear vision of where their careers can go. AJ Foyt Racing has one of the most respected names in motorsports, and we’re proud to align with them to help identify and prepare the next generation of professional drivers.”

Through the collaboration, Crosslink Motorsports drivers will gain increased exposure, along with opportunities to interact with AJ Foyt Racing engineers, staff, and driver development resources as they continue progressing through the formula racing ladder.
