A.J. Foyt's grandson, Anthony Foyt IV, will be the next member of the legendary racing family to have his name in the record books under the Indianapolis 500.Sadly, it won't be anywhere near his grandfather's four wins and numerous other records.
Foyt IV, who began his IRL career with Foyt Racing but returned this season with Tony George's Vision Racing, made history Saturday by becoming the first driver ever to be bumped on pole day under the new qualifying format.
AJIV:
"That's not the speed we wanted. We really haven't found any speed this week ... I'm comfortable with the car. The car's not bad. It's exciting for the fans, I think. The top 11 makes it a really exciting day ... Unfortunately, I won't be a part of it."Now that's gotta suck.
All is not lost, however. With 22 spots remaining on the starting gridand two more games of musical chairs ahead with 26 drivers, AJIV's still got a shot to do the family name justice.
