In honor of the 60th anniversary of A.J. Foyt’s first Indy 500 win on May 30th, Dave and A.J. discuss Foyt’s racing career, life, and their enduring friendship.
A Houston native, A.J. talks about how he first got into racing, and all the victories and injuries he experienced during his time on the tracks.
This episode highlights how A.J., who Dave describes as “the greatest race car driver ever”, came to become the first driver to win the Indy 500 four times, as well as myriad titles in numerous genres of motorsports.

Living in the UK I feel fortunate to have been able to witness A J winning the Silverstone Indy race back in 1978 where he defeated the Penske boys in far newer cars in his Coyote. I remember him saying that he had taken advice from Sir Jackie Stewart that Stowe corner was the best place for overtaking and he sure did. Marvellous

As A.J. says, great drivers can adapt to driving different types of cars. I was at LeMans in 1967 when he won together with Dan Gurney driving the Ford Mk 4

They don’t make people like this anymore. Damn…this guy has done some shit. What a life. Good video w/ AJ.

The Best description of AJ was given by Smokey Yunick. Smokey was a great admirer and said that AJ was the absolute best that ever lived. His description is both profound and profane. Find it on line and enjoy. THIS is truly the greatest driver that America has ever produced.

I didn't realize Dave Ward was so knowledgeable about motorsports. Houston's TV channel 13 KTRK was by far the best local news broadcast when they had Dave Ward, Marvin Zindler, and Bob Allen.

AJ off a little on the current average race speeds, but thats ok after a career like his! Hes getting a little older but still very sharp for his age.
