Two races later at Twin Ring Motegi
in Japan, Foyt had his first top-10 start of the season for the Indy Japan 300

was injured in a late-race crash. Paul Tracy
was drafted as the substitute driver for Meira at the next race, but Foyt stepped into the car for his home race at Texas Motor Speedway
. Ryan Hunter-Reay
drove the car for the rest of the season and Texas would be Foyt's last race of 2009.

was drafted in on short notice to qualify the car but failed to find enough speed to make the field.
