Just two open seats remain in the full-time lineup for the 2024 IndyCar season following A.J. Foyt Enterprises' confirmation that Santino Ferrucci is set to return for a second year behind the wheel of the No. 14 Chevrolet.

A.J. Foyt Enterprises are the ninth of 10 teams to solidify their full-time lineup for the 2024 season, having already announced former Dale Coyne Racing with Rick Ware Racing driver Sting Ray Robb as the driver of the No. 41 Chevrolet (formerly the No. 55 Chevrolet).

The 10th team, Dale Coyne Racing, have not confirmed drivers for either one of their two cars for 2024. In addition to Robb, David Malukas competed for the team last year, and he is set to join Arrow McLaren as the replacement for the Meyer Shank Racing-bound Felix Rosenqvist.

Dale Coyne Racing's partnership with HMD Motorsports has come to an end, and it is unknown if their partnership with Rick Ware Racing will continue.

All things considered, there are 27 full-time entries for 2024, but there will only be as many as 26 full-time drivers. That is because one of the two Ed Carpenter Racing entries is set to be shared by team owner Ed Carpenter (oval races) and rookie Christian Rasmussen (road and street course races).

Here's a look at the updated full-time lineup for the 2024 IndyCar season.
