Larry Foyt, who ran 66 NASCAR Busch Series races during the 2001/2002 seasons and 23 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series races in 2003/2004, has not been seen since except for the past three Indianapolis 500 mile IndyCar races. It seems father, A.J. Foyt has recently decided it is time for Larry to step up and take a lead in the family business whether it’s what he wants or not. (A.J.) knew I didnt want to quit driving, so thats hard, Larry said. But, realistically, am I going to get a good ride? Probably not. At first it was tough for me to swallow, because I didnt want to quit driving. But in the long run it will be a good opportunity. Im just learning right now, hanging out. I certainly dont want to be the boss son coming in here trying to run things. Im just watching how A.J. wants things done, watch our people and other teams. We just have to start taking our operation to the next level.” Complete public auction liquidation for A.J. Foyt Racing, Mooresville, N.C. will be August 23 – August 27, 2006.
