From Juncos Hollinger Racing:

Speedway, Indiana – December 2, 2025 – Juncos Hollinger Racing today confirmed that Sting Ray Robb will continue with the team for the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, completing a driver lineup designed to strengthen the organization’s competitive platform and accelerate its push up the grid.Robb’s second consecutive year with the team reinforces Juncos Hollinger Racing’s continuity, advancement, and focused development, contributing to a strengthened competitive foundation as it builds on the meaningful progress made throughout 2025. His return supports a roster that blends experience, momentum, and clear ambition for the season ahead.
The 23-year-old reunited with Juncos Hollinger Racing in 2025 – five years after the two captured the 2020 Indy Pro Championship together. His professionalism, technical feedback, and determination quickly reestablished him as a central contributor to the team’s ongoing performance gains, helping deliver increased consistency and pace during the past season.
As Juncos Hollinger Racing continues to expand its technical capabilities – bolstered by world-class leadership, an increasingly sophisticated engineering group, and strengthened operational processes – the pairing of Rinus VeeKay and Sting Ray Robb positions the team to elevate its competitive trajectory in 2026. Robb’s familiarity with the JHR program complements VeeKay’s experience and together they strengthen the team’s overall base. 
Robb expressed confidence in the program’s direction and enthusiasm for building on the platform established throughout the 2025 season.
“This season is massive for me and I’m embracing it fully. It’s my first opportunity to run with the same team for a second season and I’m ready for what it demands,” Sting Ray stated. “What’s key for me is the continuity – working with the established team people and the newer faces we all trust, with everyone focused on elevating across all areas. Having Dave’s experience at the helm has been huge. You can feel the way his racing pedigree shapes our processes, the way he leads the room, and the overall professionalism. Pair that with the insight from Adam Carroll and the six seasons of experience Rinus brings as a teammate, and it feels like the whole operation is headed in the right direction.  I’m excited to have Rinus as a teammate – we’re aligned, we’re hungry, and we’re ready to fight towards the front together.”
Robb’s continuation is the perfect addition to the recent signing of Rinus VeeKay, forming a pairing built around experience, development, and competitive ambition. Together, the two drivers underscore the team’s commitment to becoming a stronger presence in the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES.
Dave O’Neill, Team Principal of Juncos Hollinger Racing, commented: “Sting Ray is a key pillar in the structure we’re building for 2026. His commitment and approach match the ambition driving this team forward. We took meaningful steps this year, but we know there’s far more potential to unlock – and 2026 is our chance to convert that progress into real performance gains. With the continuity Sting Ray provides, combined with the pace, experience, and race-winning pedigree Rinus brings, we believe this lineup gives us the firepower to move up the order quickly.” 
As preparations intensify for the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, Robb will continue participating in the team’s offseason testing and development program. The 2026 season begins on March 1 at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.

Sting Ray Robb moves from Dale Coyne Racing to A. J. Foyt Racing for 2024. He replaces Beniamin Pederson, who was thought to have a multi year deal with Foyt. Robb will drive car 41, which is the renumbered 55. The number 41 has a staple of Foyt cars dating back to the late 60s.

The driver of the flagship car 14 has yet to be named. Santino Ferrucci drove the car in 2023, but he may not continue in that seat full time.

Indycar’s news release:

Sting Ray Robb will drive the No. 41 Chevrolet-powered car for AJ Foyt Racing in his second season in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES in 2024, team officials announced Dec. 15.

Idaho native Robb, who’s named after the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, will drive a Chevy-powered car for the first time in his career.

“I’m truly honored to pilot the No. 41 AJ Foyt Racing Chevrolet for the ‘24 season,” said Robb, who lives in Indianapolis. “This is a dream come true to be driving for the legendary A.J. Foyt and his team under the leadership of Larry Foyt. It provides an opportunity for me to implement past lessons and carry momentum forward in my sophomore season as we enter a very competitive field of teams and drivers. Building together upon our successes, I am excited for the season ahead.

“To my family of partners and supporters thank you for being a part of this journey, we’ll continue to work hard and grow into what God has called us to be.”

Robb, 22, made his NTT INDYCAR SERIES debut last season with Dale Coyne Racing, earning a best finish of 12th in the season-ending Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.

The climb to the pinnacle of North American open-wheel racing came for Robb after a successful junior open-wheel career. He won the Indy Pro 2000 title in 2020 with seven wins, five poles, 11 podiums and four track records. He finished runner-up in INDY NXT by Firestone in the 2022 season, with a victory at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.

Robb’s car will be based in the team’s Speedway, Indiana, race shop. The team’s engineering department, headed up by Michael Cannon, also is located there.

“I’m looking forward to working with Sting Ray,” AJ Foyt Racing Team President Larry Foyt said. “I have to admit his name caught my eye when he was in the junior formulas, so I watched his rise through INDYCAR’s ladder system, where he did really well. I believe he is a great addition to our program and will showcase everything he learned in his rookie campaign in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.”

The 2024 NTT INDYCAR SERIES starts with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg presented by RP Funding on Sunday, March 10 at St. Petersburg, Florida.
