Career

[edit]
Foley's Turner Motorsport BMW at Road Atlanta in 2019

Raised inRandolph, New Jersey, Foley's motorsports career was kickstarted in 2010 by a severe injury sustained during a football game while attendingRandolph High School, which included a tornLCL,ACL,PCL, and a broken tibia, fibula, and ankle, alongside nerve damage, leading to a consideration by his physicians of amputating the affected leg.[2][3] However, Foley had been active in motorsports throughout his youth, taking part in autocross events with his father.[4] The following year, Foley attended theSkip Barber Racing School.[5] After winning the Skip Barber class of the 2015Global MX-5 Cup, Foley was granted a $100,000 scholarship byMazda, leading to a full season campaign with Atlanta Motorsports Group in 2016.[6] Following several seasons in MX-5 Cup competition, Foley moved into theIMSA SportsCar Championship withTurner Motorsport in 2018, making his debut atBelle Isle in June.[7] The following season, Foley began racing full-time with the team.[8] Foley scored his first IMSA victory atCanadian Tire Motorsports Park in July 2019.[9] In 2020, Foley won his first official championship, winning the Pro-Am class of theGT4 America SprintX Series with co-driver Michael Dinan.[10] The following year, Foley made his debut at the24 Hours of Le Mans, driving forTeam Project 1.[11]

For 2022, Foley returned for another full season withTurner Motorsport and co-driverBill Auberlen, driving the new-for-2022BMW M4 GT3.[12] The duo would claim their only class victory of the season atMid-Ohio,[13] and tallied four total podiums to finish fourth in the GTD-class championship. During 2022, Foley also embarked on full-season campaigns in theGT World Challenge America andMichelin Pilot Challenge. Paired with Michael Dinan in the former championship, the team scored Pro-class victories atWatkins Glen and in theIndianapolis 8 Hour, where they finished as the highest entry eligible for GT World Challenge America points; third overall.[14] In the latter series, Foley and co-driver Vin Barletta finished seventh in the GS-class championship, placing as high as fourth atLaguna Seca andVIR. Foley also took part in the2022 24 Hours of Spa, driving for Walkenhorst Motorsport in a Turner-inspired BMW M4 GT3.[15]

Foley returned to Turner Motorsport in 2023, once again taking part in the IMSA SportsCar Championship and Michelin Pilot Challenge.[16] Just prior to the2023 24 Hours of Daytona, Foley was named as one of BMW North America's contracted drivers.[17] Foley and full-time co-driverPatrick Gallagher claimed three runner-up finishes in the GTD class, concluding the championship season with a fourth-place points finish. In Pilot Challenge competition, Foley and Barletta claimed victories atSebring and Watkins Glen,[18][19] taking the GS-class championship by 10 points over the Rebel Rock Racing duo ofRobin Liddell and Frank DePew.[20]
