Last year he replaced the injured Sebastien Bourdais in the Indy 500 and led late before finding the wall, and this year Australia's James Davison is rumored to drive for A.J. Foyt Racing in the 500 with backing from David Byrd.

The Byrd family, who are in the food service and hotel businesses, have supported a number of drivers over the years, most recently the late Bryan Clauson.
