Good news for AJ Foyt Racing and Vitor Meira, who has had his share of disappointment in recent years, as long-time sponsor ABC Supply Co has agreed to extend its deal to sponsor the #14 Dallara Honda for the next two seasons of IndyCar.

As part of the agreement, the company will again sponsor the ABC Supply/AJ Foyt 225 at the Milwaukee Mile, which is due to run on May 31st 2009.

In the meantime things are not going as smoothly as expected for AJ Foyt IV as his future in the IRL has been called into question by reports that the Vision Racing team has had to release personnel.

Foyt is reported to need a sponsor to continue with the Tony George's team next season.
