Podcast appearances and mentions of aj foyt

Santino Ferrucci has been on a roll lately. Another great finish at the Indianapolis 500 (5th), and his first real podium* at Detroit (2nd) have kept him in the championship points hunt again this year. Ferrucci is a fun-loving guy and really enjoys his racing with AJ Foyt. This year he has a new teammate in the highly-touted David Malukas. We caught up with Santino at The Thermal Club where he showed us another one of his helmet designs. Compared to last year's Tom and Jerry cartoon themed lid, this one is much more serious and business-like. He goes into the details of what he likes best about this new design. But don't worry, there will be more to come. Enjoy!NOTE: After the Detroit race, Ferrucci's car was found to be out of compliance in regards to driver's weight ballast. According to the series, “During post-race inspection of car No. 14, INDYCAR discovered the driver ballast needed to bring the combined weight of the driver and driver ballast to 185 pounds was underweight and not within the driver ballast weight tolerance of 0.00 to + 1.00 pounds.However, also during inspection, the series found the weight of car No. 14, itself, was 10 pounds over the minimum weight for road and street circuits of 1,785 pounds and competed over the minimum weight requirement on-track.”* I say “real podium” because even though he finished third at Indy in 2023, there is no podium there, only the winner's circle.

His name is synonymous with sports in the 70's. You didn't have to follow racing to know who AJ Foyt was. He's a part of Americana and in 1975 he was looking to win his 4th Indy 500. A week earlier, he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated after winning the pole position in true Foyt fashion. His first lap in qualifying was a blistering 195.313 mph and his 4-lap average of 193.975 secured the pole position in Indianapolis. But rain and Bobby Unser had other plans… a downpour ended the race after just 174 of the 200 laps, and Unser was awarded the victory with 1974 champion Johnny Rutherford finishing 2nd and AJ a disappointing 3rd… taking it all in was a kid who grew up just north of the famous racetrack and attended his first race at the age of 6 in 1966… Scott Gauger hasn't missed an Indy 500 since, including the '75 race that saw Mother Nature end the race before it could properly come to it's scheduled conclusion. Gauger grew up around racing and started working at Indianapolis Motor Speedway when he was just 13. 5 years later in 1978, he took his first official position with an IndyCar team, and almost 50 years later, he's still a part of the Old Brickyard, working on two winning Indy 500 teams… 2016 He worked for the Andretti-Herta Autosport team that won the checkered flag for the 100th running of the Indy 500 with Alexander Rossi behind the wheel… and a year later, he was with Andretti Autosport when Takuma Sato was the first to cross the finish line. And while Gauger works officially for separate IndyCar teams, his unofficial position is Ambassador of the Indy 500. He gives tours, gets tickets for kids, and promotes the race 24/7, 365 days a year. On the Past Our Prime podcast, Gauger tells us about how he grew up near 3-time Indy 500 winner Louis Meyer, who is widely known for starting the annual tradition of drinking mile after winning at Indy… Gauger talks about the greats and says AJ Foyt is the best racer of all-time, and the first person he ever saw hav a personalized license plate… He tells us about drinking the milk after winning in '16 and again in '17 and he tells us which famous actor was the best racer of the bunch… if you know racing, it won't be a surprise. And Gauger tells us why the racers of today aren't as well-known as the ones we grew up watching 50 years ago. The Indy 500. It's as American as it gets… and so is Scott Gauger, Mr. Indy 500 on the Past Our Prime podcast. Give us a review and a download if you would and share it with your friends.

Rodney Klausmeyer drives the number 14 transporter for AJ Foyt Racing in the NTT IndyCar Series. He also has many other duties with the team throughout a race weekend. At the 2024 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, he was kind enough to take us on a tour of not only his rig, but also the two others connected to it in the paddock area. It's one thing to see these gleaming rolling billboards in the paddock area or cruising down the highways of America, but they're much more than that. They are a serious place for spare parts, tear down/rebuilds as well as engineering, VIP hospitality, and driver's lounge. Follow along with the photos below and get an insider's tour of this rolling work of art. Enjoy!NOTE: Just before this podcast with photos was uploaded, the AJ Foyt Racing Team updated all of their transporters. We're scheduled to get another visit and tour and see what's changed for 2025. We'll have more photos and a new podcast scheduled for spring. Stay tuned! For more information an A.J.

I dive into the remaining open seats for the 2025 season and the 2025 Indy 500. I discuss a few tests upcoming and read from the new AJ Foyt biography. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tony-donohue/support

A.J. Foyt: Survivor, Champion, Legend (Volume One, Octane Press, October 2024), an extensive and highly entertaining biography of one of America's most popular, colorful, and controversial sports heroes, is now available for order. Art Garner-an award-winning author and finalist for the prestigious PEN/ESPN award for literary sports writing for his bestselling book, Black Noon-has captured the action on and off the track that led many to consider Foyt to be one of the greatest race car drivers of all time-and one reporter to write that A.J. stood for "another jerk."Known for his fiery disposition and bare-knuckled approach, Foyt's driving career spanned five decades-six if you count an exhibition race when he was five years old. He was the first driver to win the Indianapolis 500 four times and still holds Indy car records for most victories and championships. He is the only driver ever to win the Indianapolis 500, 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Daytona 500, one version of auto racing's triple crown. He also won the International Race of Champions in 1976 and 1977 and still holds the world closed-course speed record that he set in 1987. "Statistics tell only part of the story," Garner says. "Foyt likes to say, 'I'm just A.J., ain't no different than any other man,' but nothing could be further from the truth. He's one of the most complex and intricate personalities in the history of auto racing, perhaps all of sports." The biography also explores the unique relationship between Foyt and his "Daddy," Anthony Joseph "Tony" Foyt Sr. Although they often clashed-it was Tony who said working with his son could be like "dancing with a buzzsaw"-A.J. called him "the only man I can trust." It was Tony who instilled in his son an overwhelming drive to be the best, teaching him that victory was expected, excellence assumed. And it was Tony who told a crowd celebrating A.J.'s fourth Indy 500 victory that his son had "done fair."Through tireless research and hundreds of hours of new interviews with Foyt, his family, friends, and the biggest names in motorsports-including Mario Andretti, Roger Penske, Al Unser Sr., Johnny Rutherford, Jackie Stewart, Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough, and many others-Garner has compiled an unprecedented look at Foyt's life and career. At 656 pages it includes ninety-five photos, some from Foyt's family albums, and fifty-five pages of source notes and index. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

At 656 pages it includes ninety-five photos, some from Foyt's family albums, and fifty-five pages of source notes and index. Andretti wrote the foreword and had this to offer about the tome on the life of his longtime rival: "A.J. fans will love this book. And if anywhere in these pages it says A.J. hates me, I know he doesn't anymore. That was a few decades ago. Today we're BFFs." Asked about the upcoming biography, Foyt said: "I know what I did. I know the fun I had. I don't really give a [$*!#] if anybody else cares. I know I had a wonderful, wonderful life. A lot of heartaches but a lot of fun at the same time. I don't know if I would change anything if I was reborn." With an official publication date of October 1, 2024, A.J. Foyt: Survivor, Champion, Legend (Volume One) is available for order now from Octane Press. Volume One traces the Foyt family from its Eastern European roots through A.J.'s 1977 season, when he became the first driver ever to win the Indianapolis 500 four times.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Warwick's race-winning record is second to none in the fearsome Formula 5000 era!  The only Australian ever to win the Tasman Series against all comers and the AGP joining Sir Jackie Stewart, Jim Clark, Sir Jack Brabham!He raced against Frank Matich, Niel Allen, Alan Jones, Mario Andretti, AJ Foyt and many others.  His second-by-second retelling of the horrendous crash in the Lola T300 at Surfers Paradise Raceway in 1973 that almost took his life is chilling to hear.  He says, '99 times out of 100, I should have died that day!He happily admits to only occasionally being a Muscle Car driver in the terms of road-car-based racing cars, but if an F5000 isn't a real Muscle Car then what is?

IMPORTANT NOTE: The audio quality of the David Smith interview in this episode is not up to our usual standards.

Give it a listen ... and be taken straight to church! We then tackle the May 5, 1988 issue of Grand National Scene.   Phil Parsons wins the first and only race of his Winston Cup career at Talladega. His crew chief Andy Petree told us once upon a time that the car Phil was driving that day was … special.   Michael Waltrip endures a wreck that day that leaves him very groggily walking across the track, with the rest of the field not too awfully far away and headed in his direction.   AJ Foyt gets hammered with a suspension and fine after showing out on pit road after being penalized a lap. During qualifying, Bill Elliott's string of six straight Talladega pole positions is broken by Davey Allison.   Tim Richmond files a $20 million lawsuit against NASCAR.    Scene tries to answer a question for the ages … is it SterLIN or SterLING Marlin? Gene Granger digs into the life and times of LeeRoy Yarbrough. There's an in-depth article on Richard Childress Racing jackman David Smith.    Finally … we've got Dale Earnhardt stories involving stolen souvenirs, whipped-cream pies, chickens, bulls and business trips.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down for an incredible conversation with motorsports icon Mario Andretti. With a resume that includes wins in the Indy 500 and the Daytona 500, four IndyCar championships, and a Formula One championship, Mario is in rarified air in motorsports history, ranking among the best to ever sit behind the wheel. Mario reflects on his childhood in Italy and how his family migrated from a refugee camp to Nazareth, Pennsylvania when he was 15 years old. It was there that his twin brother Aldo and he discovered the nearby Nazareth Speedway and set out with the ambition to build a racecar to enter the local sportsman division. At the advice of his friends, the Andretti brother team settled on a 1948 Hudson Hornet for their initial foray into racing, thanks to the classic car's success on the dirt in early NASCAR competition. With a fabricated story of racing in the Formula Junior ranks in Italy and doctored driver's licenses in their pockets, the Andretti's set out with a full head of steam and found immediate success, helping to launch one of the greatest stories in auto racing. Mario explains that his decision to leave stock cars and venture into open wheel racing came through the ¾ midget ranks of the East Coast, and his time in the division helped land him USAC sprint and championship car rides. After getting his feet wet in the big cars in 1964, Mario had a tremendous rookie season, placing 3rd at the Indianapolis 500 and winning the national championship. Mario and Dale also chat about his journey into the NASCAR world, which resulted in a 1967 Daytona 500 victory with the Holman-Moody team. Mario admits that some on the team were pulling for his teammate Fred Lorenzen, but with the help of the legendary engine builder Waddell Wilson he was able to overcome adversity for his lone NASCAR win. The conversation also covers Mario's track record at the Indy 500, pursuing his childhood love of Formula One racing and how he came to win the 1978 World Championship and returning to the US to finish his career in the CART ranks, racing alongside his son Michael.

Tonight on Trackside, we recap a crazy Detroit Grand Prix. Curt and Kevin recap the Grand Prix and talk about their reaction to it. They also talk about Kyle Larson's waiver finally being granted by NASCAR, and controversy with Agustin Canapino and Theo Pourchaire. Kevin believes that racing is a financial business, and even if the track is not perfect, there is serious financial gain to be had from racing at this location. He believes that having one wreck-filled race a year is not all that bad for teams, and fans like chaos.  Later in the the first hour of the show, Kevin and Curt talk about Scott Dixon. We hear about how Alex Palou's season has not been as dominant as it had been in previous years, and now Scott Dixon is a challenger for the championship win. They talk about Scott Dixon approaching AJ Foyt's win record, and if he can surpass it in his career.  To round out the first hour, Kevin answers some listener questions, like lack of fans at oval races, Ed Carpenter swapping cars, and more.  In the second hour of the show, Kevin and Curt talk about Flavor Flav, and his being Will Power's hype man. Kevin recounts a story of Power at qualifying in Detroit, and how Flav made sure he was in the camera shot during an interview to promote his brand. We talk about Will Power's comments during the race about race control and answer other listener questions. They also talk about David Malukas and what team he could come back and race for this season and next season, and Tom Blomqvist being removed from Meyer-Shank. They also talk about the conflict with Santino Ferrucci and Kyle Kirkwood.  Later in the second hour, Kevin and Curt talk about the controversy with Agustin Canapino and Theo Pourchaire, and the threats Pourchaire received for crashing with Canapino during the race. We hear about IndyCar's stance on the issue, what Canapino had to say, and how Juncos is taking the controversy, and how hard it would be to regulate these types of threats.  Kevin ends the show paying homage to racing legend Parnelli Jones. It was announced that Jones passed during the show, and Kevin talks about his accomplishments, and we hear a statement from PJ Jones, Parnelli's son. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There was a time when the winner of the Indianapolis 500 was a household name in America. AJ Foyt, Al Unser, Bobby Under, Mario Andretti, Rick Mears to name a few. Legends of the sport and none were any bigger than Johnny Rutherford who won the 500 in 1974... and in 1976... and in 1980... that's right, he took the checkered flag 3 times in 6 years... but on the Past Our Prime podcast, he'll tell us about the one that got away in 75 that still eats him up to this day... We'll talk about some of the scariest crashes of his career including one where he somehow avoided disaster when two others died at the Brickyard in 1973... and the one in 66 that kept him from racing for years... until he returned better than ever. The biggest wins and disappointments from one of Auto Racing's all-time greats... Lone Star JR recollects on the highs and lows of a career that 50 years ago became immortalized when he won the Indy 500 for the first time. Learn more about your ad choices.

Nigel Mansell's Formula 1 world championship-winning Williams FW14B is currently on display next to the Lola the British legend used to win the 1993 CART title in a special exhibition at Silverstone. Thanks to a multi-million-dollar refurbishment at the Indianapolis Motorsport Speedway Museum, the Silverstone Museum currently has four special cars over from America. The Indy 500: A British Success Story exhibition includes Mansell's Lola T93/00, the Coyote in which US great AJ Foyt won when Indycar visited Silverstone (and broke F1 records) in the 1970s, a gas turbine-powered Lotus 56 from 1968 and the Bentley that contested the 1922 Indy 500. In this special podcast from the Silverstone Museum, host Kevin Turner is joined by author/historian Ian Wagstaff and the museum's head of collections and research Steph Sykes-Dugmore to reveal the stories behind these special machines and Britain's role in America's greatest race. Mansell's famous conquering of Indycar, the year after he claimed the F1 crown, features, as does the championship's visit to Britain in 1978.  Plus, the trio asks why that experiment wasn't a success and whether a return of IndyCar to the UK could prove more popular today.

This week in the first installment of our fantastic conversation with DK Ulrich, DK talks about how AJ Foyt influenced him to not only be known by his initials, but also to pursue a career in racing. He then remembers a chance offer for a 1957 Chevy that altered the course of his life and his earliest days as one of NASCAR's independents.And make no mistake about it … those independents were NOT just stroking around the race track to collect an easy paycheck. There was NOTHING easy about … and if being an independent meant boosting parts from Holman-Moody and traveling all over the United States without ever once going home … then so be it.Hosts Rick Houston and Steve Waid then dig into the June 15, 1978 issue of Grand National Scene. Benny Parsons whups Richard Petty at Riverside, after Cale Yarborough and Darrell Waltrip fall out of contention. There's a feature story on Humpy Wheeler written by this kid out of Roanoke, Virginia who went on to have a halfway decent career in the sport … and a story on the women of the Petty family … Lynda, Elizabeth, Sharon AND Lisa.NOTE: This podcast is not associated in any way with American City Business Journals, owner of the Scene brand.Please consider supporting this show via: www.patreon.com/thescenevaultpodcastwww.paypal.me/thescenevaultpodcastwww.venmo.com/thescenevaultpodcast

He shares the story of the washing machine engine go-kart that started it all. Whether it was pulling an engine off a Ford assembly line and modifying it for stock car racing, or trick spindles, the Wood Brothers' minds always led to advancement. They even got the invite by Henry Ford to pit a car in the Indianapolis 500. So how did a bunch of Virginia stock car boys do? Well, they won the race and revolutionized the pit stop along the way.Leonard opens up about some of the best drivers they ever had in their racecars, including greats like AJ Foyt, Cale Yarborough, and David Pearson. He also reveals why the split with Pearson really happened and what regrets he has over it. The rivalry between Pearson and Richard Petty pretty much defined an era of American Stock Car racing.Dale Jr also gets the answer he was seeking from Leonard about the origins of their famed number-21 and how it came to be.
