A.J. Foyt Announces Retirement from the Indy 500

I remember that day at the speedway vividly. I think it was as hard on some of the fans as it was on AJ!

This is how a LEGEND retires. Not some pompous fop like Petty pulling some year-long parade.

@wayupinya1 I have to disagree. Going out immediately, when it feels right, worked for A.J., while the Fan Appreciation tour worked for The King. Two different types of people said goodbye two seperate ways. Have to say though you're the first person I've ever seen refer to Richard as "pompous."

Only time I've ever seen Tom speechless.

A.J. as gruff as he may be, he truly is the "Grand Champion."

The tears he sheds alongside Tom Carnegie will truly humble anyone.

RIP Tom Carnegie. Words that will always rest in my mind will always be, "And........ He's ON IT!"
