When it comes to the legends of Indy, none are larger than A.J. Foyt. He’s the first four-time Indianapolis 500 champion, has a record 67 wins in an Indy car, and 7 series championships. He also won the Daytona 500, 24-Hours of LeMans, numerous sprint, midget, and other sports car races. And at age 57, he set the closed course speed record of 267 miles per hour. But his legend extends well beyond the track.
To find out more about A.J. we sat down with Art Garner, the author of an exhaustive biography of Super Tex titled, “A.J. Foyt, Survivor, Champion, Legend.” The first volume is over 600 pages long with a second coming out at the end of May this year. Join us as we dig into the history and impact of one of the best racers ever to get behind the wheel of a car, the one and only, A.J. Foyt.
