A.J. Foyt attacked by killer bees! Again! Login/Join

Not once but twice Foyt has been attacked by killer bees and has lived to talk about it. A.J. is a throw back kind of like Earnhardt Sr was. Men among men. I remember some years back Steven Tyler did the National Anthem at the Indy 500 where A.J. was in attendance. Tyler completely butchered the song I mean it was nasty! After he was done the camera panned to A.J. for just a second but long enough to where you could see him turn to the person next to him and say "What the fuck was that"? Hilarious!

A.J. is a big guy and can be an asshole. At the Pocono 500 in 1972 he picked up a USAC volunteer and threw him to the ground when the person was only doing his job. He got a real chewing out by the officials and almost got thrown out of the race.

Dale Earnhart SR. was still in diapers when Foyt was out winning races. Smile

Only 16 years difference in age.

While that used to sound like a lot, now that I'm firmly in my 60's not so much.



If it ain't woke... don't fix it.

I like AJ, a real American legend!
Fewer and fewer are left. Sad!

Him and Parnelli Jones. You can add Dan Gurney, Jim Hall (Chaparral Cars) and Mario. Also can't forget the Unser brothers

I like AJ, warts and all, and wish him a speedy recovery.

Is Texas full of killer bees?

We've got a good selection of badass wasps, hornets and bees in s Indiana but they haven't learned to mass attack for fun as a rule. I've heard of swarms but never known of one first hand. A damned sweat bee causes me to puff up and the last real sting I got I had to get a shot.
