"A.J. Foyt won his first race at age five. From that moment victory was expected, excellence assumed. Many consider A.J. Foyt to be the greatest race car driver ever, and he has the statistics to back it up. He was the first to win the Indianapolis 500 four times, the only driver to win at Indianapolis, the Daytona 500, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has won more Indy car races and championships than anyone else, and he still holds the world closed course speed record set more than thirty-five years ago. Through tireless research and extensive interviews with dozens of the biggest names in motorsports, Art Garner has accomplished the impossible. He offers an unprecedented look behind the curtain at the life and career of one of America's most distinguished and determined athletes. He's also the meanest, toughest, most politically incorrect son-of-a-bitch in racing-and proud of it"-- Provided by publisher.
