Foyt not ready to Call it a career by Mike Harris a motor sports writer to paraphrase Mark Twain reports of , Foyt s retirement Are somewhat exaggerated. Foyt fought Back last year from serious foot and leg injuries for what he said was going to be his final season behind the wheel. Now he has decided he s not ready to Call it a career. The 56-year-Ojd texan who has won just about every major event in motor sports at least once is entered in the feb. 16 Daytona 500 and says he might also race in May in his 35th consecutive Indianapolis 500, which would be an indy record. Foyt says he has lost 20 pounds and that his legs and feet injured in an indy car crash at Elkhart Lake wis., in september of 1990, Are feeling great. What could probably be called another comeback will Start sunday at Phoenix International raceway where Foyt will race in the Stock car division of the Copper world classic. A a in a just going to creep Back into it a Foyt said. A a in a ready to hang it up but in a not ready to hang it up. A i really enjoy it and 1 was hurting so bad trying to make myself do something last year. 1 probably even have tried to come Back last year at All. I should have waited a Foyt missed the 1991 Daytona 500, the first time he had failed to run in a scary a Stock car Crown jewel in 25 years and a race he won in 1972. But he was Back in time to race at Indianapolis where he is a four time Champion. The longtime indy favorite surprised everyone but himself by qualifying for a front Row Start in the 75th Indianapolis race but was eliminated from the event in the Early going after slamming into debris from an Accident. He was Able to drive his car slowly around the 2-mile Oval for one More Lap. But that disappointing finish troubled him. It bruised his ego. Later in the year he said a i done to want that to be the Way people remember my last race at indy. If the fans still want me and my sponsor still wants me 1 just might be Foyt would not say if he will drive in any other events this year. A. Foyt a file
