Foyt

Foyt in 1964, Palou is not satisfied and wants a “life-changing” win.

Foyt on IndyCar’s all-time wins list by picking up his 57th career victory Sunday in the Grand Prix of Long Beach.

Against these stood the traditional Indy roadsters, long-snouted brutes in which drivers sat bolt-upright behind the engines, most of them the growling four-cylinder Offenhausers that had ruled the speedway since the end of World War II. They made the rear-engine cars look almost dainty and were driven by the traditional Indy regulars — Foyt, Jones, Jim Hurtubise, Rodger Ward and others.

Then, suddenly, a bearing in the gearbox failed, Jones dropped back and Foyt, threading his way through a multi-car accident on the final lap, scored the third of his four Indy victories.

Foyt’s total of 67 in the series.
