Hildebrand “hopeful I can be helpful” to Kirkwood, Foyt team

Hildebrand was confirmed this morning as the oval driver for the #11 ROKiT-backed AJ Foyt Racing-Chevrolet, which is handled on street and road courses by rookie Tatiana Calderon. He will thus race alongside reigning Indy Lights champion Kyle Kirkwood, and third-year driver Dalton Kellett, rejoining the squad for whom he raced at Indy last year as a one-off.

It will be the first season that Hildebrand has competed in more than one race since 2017, when he drove his Ed Carpenter Racing-Chevy to podium finishes at both Phoenix and Iowa. So while the 2009 Indy Lights champion made his IndyCar debut the following year, he has accrued only 66 starts since then.
