Rio teams with Foyt

Harrah's Casinos, which already sponsors one of A.J. Foyt's cars in the Indy Racing League, heightened its investment in the team and series by announcing that the Rio Suite hotel-casino will serve as the title sponsor of a second Foyt-owned IRL car this season.

Eliseo Salazar, who is celebrating his 26th year in professional motor sports, will drive the Rio-sponsored car. Jeff Ward drives Foyt's other IRL entry, which is sponsored by Harrah's. The Rio is owned by Harrah's Casinos.
