Tatiana Calderon will drive for AJ Foyt Racing this season as the first woman to compete regularly in the IndyCar Series since 2013. The Colombian will drive a third IndyCar entry for Foyt on the street and road courses this year alongside Dalton Kellett and Indy Lights champion Kyle Kirkwood. A driver for the oval races in the No. 11 was not announced. Calderon will be sponsored by ROKiT Group. That is a media group that has also committed to sponsoring fellow rookie Kirkwood this season. Simona de Silvestro in 2013 was the last woman to compete regularly in IndyCar.
