Initiative will use racing to connect leaders across defense, technology and industry and be featured in the livery of the No. 4 Chevrolet, driven by Josh Pierson, throughout the season.
INDIANAPOLIS (November 10, 2026) — AJ Foyt Racing, GM Defense and the Congressional Medal of Honor Society today announced the launch of Project Accelerator, a motorsports-based convening and networking platform designed to bring together people and organizations across motorsports, defense and technology companies.
The No. 4 Chevrolet, driven by Josh Pierson, will also feature the logos of Project Accelerator, plus GM Defense and the Congressional Medal of Honor Society as founding partners for Project Accelerator. The INDYCAR Grand Prix of Arlington (Texas) race on March 21, 2027 is planned as the first Hub activation, with a networking event adjacent to the circuit at the National Medal of Honor Museum.
For Pierson, recent encounters with Medal of Honor Recipients and Homes For Our Troops brought the initiative’s mission into focus.
“Hearing Medal of Honor Recipients share their stories at GM Defense’s Valor & Velocity gala was something I’ll never forget,” said Pierson. “The next day, I attended a Homes For Our Troops home dedication and saw firsthand the difference the organization makes for Veterans and their families. Both experiences had a tremendous impact on me. I’m grateful for GM Defense’s support and honored to represent the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. I’ll do whatever I can to bring positive attention to both the Society and Homes For Our Troops.”
