International Motorsports Hall of Fame Inductee (2000) named co-Driver of the Century by the Associated Press Named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers (1998) inducted in the first class in the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame (U.S.) (1990) inducted in the first class into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (1989) inducted in the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame (1988) NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Statistics 128 races run over 30 years. Best Cup Position: 40th - 1989 (Winston Cup) First Race: 1963 unnamed race Riverside Last Race: 1994 Brickyard 400 (Indianapolis) First Win: 1964 Firecracker 400 (Daytona) Last Win: 1972 Miller High Life 500 (Ontario) Wins Top Tens Poles 7 36 9 Anthony Joseph Foyt, Jr. (born January 16, 1935 in Houston, Texas), is considered by many as the greatest American automobile racing driver of all time. [1] He holds the all-time USAC career wins record with 159 victories. [1] Early life Foyt attended Pershing and Hamilton middle schools and Lamar and San Jacinto high schools, [1] but he dropped out to become a mechanic. [2]. Driving career Midget car career He started his USAC career in a midget car at the 1956 Night before the 500 in Anderson, Indiana. His first midget car win was at a 100 lap event at Kansas City in 1957, and finished seventh in the season points standings. [1] He left midget cars after the 1957 season to drive in sprint cars and Championship Car. He did occasionally compete in midget car events. He won the 1960 and 1961 Turkey Night Grand Prix, the first two years that it was held at Ascot Park. He won the 1961 Hut Hundred after starting last, and finished seventh in National Midget points that year. He won the 1970 Astro Grand Prix, an event that he promoted in his hometown of Houston. He ended his career with 20 midget car feature wins. Championship car career In 1961, he became the first driver to successfully defend his points championship and win the Indianapolis 500 race. He raced in each season from 1957-1992, starting in 374 races and finishing in the top ten 201 times, with 67 victories. Ford engines were widely expected to dominate the 1964 Indianapolis 500. Foyt hoped his Offenhauser engine would be able to keep up with the Fords. Foyt lapped the field to win the race. The race is known for a lap 2 crash that claimed the lives of Dave MacDonald and Eddie Sachs. In 1966 at the Milwaukee, WI. August 200 mile Championship Car race his rear engined Lotus pavement car was not at the track so A.J. unloaded the Offenhauser engined dirt track car he had won the 100 mile race with at Springfield, Il. the previous day sprayed the mud off of the car, installed pavement tires and a set up for the one mile oval. He received permission to take two extra warm up laps during qualifying as he had no time for practice and then qualified the car on the pole, led the race for 188 out of 200 laps when he had to stop for a new rear tire, and finished 2nd to Gordon Johncock driving a rear engined wildcat indy car. In the 1967 Indianapolis 500, Parnelli Jones' turbine car was expected to easily defeat the field of piston engines. Jones lapped the field, but his car expired with a few laps left in the race. Foyt had to weave through five wrecked cars down the final front stretch to win the race, a race that took two days to complete. In the 1977 Indianapolis 500, Foyt ran out of fuel, and had to make up around 32 seconds on Gordon Johncock. Foyt made up 1.5 to 2 seconds per lap by turning up his turbo boost, which risks destroying the engine. Johncock's own engine expired just as Foyt had closed to within eight seconds back after both drivers' final pit stops, and Foyt passed for the win. He won at the race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway 4 times, in 1961, 1964, 1967, 1977. He was the first driver to do so. The feat has since been matched by Al Unser (1970, 1971, 1978, 1987) and Rick Mears (1979, 1984, 1988, 1991). Stock car career USAC Stock Car He was the champion in USAC's stock car in 1968, 1978, and 1979. He finished second in 1963 and 1969, and third in 1970.[2] NASCAR Foyt only needed 10 races to get his first NASCAR victory. Richard Petty dominated the 1964 Firecracker 400 until he went out with engine problems. Foyt swapped the lead with Bobby Isaac for the final 50 laps of the summer event at the Daytona International Speedway. Foyt passed Isaac on the final lap to win the race. The track doctor at a 1965 Riverside International Raceway race pronounced Foyt dead at the scene of a severe crash, but fellow driver Parnelli Jones revived him after seeing movement. Foyt suffered severe chest injuries, a broken back, and a fractured ankle. Footage of his flipping #00 Ford, owned by Holman Moody, is featured in the final scene of the movie Redline 7000. Foyt ran out of gas near the end of the 1971 Daytona 500, and Petty passed him for the win. Foyt again had the car to beat in the 1972 Daytona 500, but this time succeeded in a dominating performance. Only three drivers led during the race. Foyt won the 1971 and 1972 races at the Ontario Motor Speedway for Wood Brothers Racing. The track was shaped like the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The 1972 race was his last NASCAR win. Career summary Foyt drove in the Indianapolis 500 for 35 consecutive years, winning it four times (the first of only three to do so). Foyt is the only driver to win the Indy 500 in both front and rear-engined cars, winning twice with both configurations. He is the only person to record victories in the Indianapolis 500, the Daytona 500 stock car race, the 24 Hours of Daytona (twice, with co-driver Bob Wollek), the 24 Hours of Le Mans international sports car endurance race in Le Mans, France, as well as the 12 Hours of Sebring (his last major professional win, in 1985, with co-driver Bob Wollek). Foyt had never competed in European sports-car racing or driven at LeMans prior to his 1967 winning performance in a Ford Mark IV co-driven by Dan Gurney. While being sprayed with champagne on the podium, he is reported to have asked "Do I win Rookie Of The Year?" He also has 41 USAC Stock Car wins and 50 Sprint Car, Midget, and Dirt Champ Car wins. He has won 12 total major driving championships in various categories. His USAC wins tally is a record 138 (The late Rich Vogler is second with 132.) Foyt won the 1977 and 1976 IROC championships. Foyt won 7 NASCAR races, including the 1972 Daytona 500 Foyt holds the closed course speed record driving the Oldsmobile Aerotech at an average speed of over 250 MPH. Awards Foyt was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2000. Foyt was named to NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers list in 1998. He was named to the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1990. He was inducted in the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America as the only open wheel driver in the first class of 1989. He was inducted in the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame in 1988. Indianapolis 500 records Foyt has numerous career records at the Indianapolis 500: the first of to date three drivers to win a record four times, the most consecutive and career starts (35), most races led (13), most times led during the career (39), and most competitive laps and miles during a career (4,909 laps, 12,272.5 miles). Car owner A. J. Foyt (right) and driver Darren Manning (left) at the 2007 Indianapolis 500Main article: A. J. Foyt Enterprises While an active driver, Foyt entered into a longtime partnership with Kalamazoo, Michigan businessman Jim Gilmore, and raced under the Gilmore-Foyt Racing name for many years. After retiring as a driver, he continued his involvement in racing as a car owner of Foyt Enterprises in the CART series, then the Indy Racing League (IRL) and NASCAR. Scott Sharp took a share of the 1996 Indy Racing League (IRL) title. Kenny Brack won the 1998 IRL title in Foyt's car. Brack won the 1999 Indianapolis 500 in Foyt's car, putting Foyt in the winner's circle at Indy for the fifth time. The current driver for his IRL team, A.J. Foyt Enterprises, is Darren Manning. On June 7, 1997, Foyt (as an owner) was involved in an incident that helped shape the history of the Indy Racing League and added to his reputation as a man of little patience. One of his drivers, Billy Boat, had been declared the winner of the inaugural IRL race at Texas Motor Speedway that had been held that night, and his other driver, Davey Hamilton, had come in second. However, driver Arie Luyendyk disputed Boat's win, claiming that he was in the lead when a scoring error by USAC (who had scored all IRL races up until that time) gave Boat the checkered flag. When Luyendyk entered victory lane after the race to confront TMS general manager Eddie Gossage about the finish uttering obscenities, an irate Foyt approached the Dutch-born Luyendyk from behind and slapped and shoved him into tulips (ironically given Luyendyk's Dutch heritage). Luyendyk then requested a review of the race; a few days later, USAC reversed its position and declared Luyendyk the winner. Following the controversy, the IRL relieved USAC of the scoring duties for its events. Family A. J. is the grandfather of A. J. Foyt IV. A. J. is the grandfather and adoptive father of Larry Foyt. He is also the godfather of driver John Andretti.

Ralph Beard
In my neck of the woods, Beard is second to Jesus in the hearts of many. Many call him the best college player before the 1950's. When he played, college Athletes were only allowed to play three seasons. In three years at UK, Beard was an All-American all three years. He help lead the 1947 team to runners up in the NIT. In 1948, he led Kentucky to the National Championship and a Gold Medal. The next year Kentucky again, won the National Championship. Due to gambling, Beard NBA days were cut short after just two seasons, where Beard was already playing like an All-Star. His greatness was never truly seen.

Ted Williams
Most baseball nerds call Williams the greatest hitter of all time. His eyesight was almost un-human. He could see things that 99.9999999% of us could never see with the naked eye. He missed nearly 5 years of playing time due to serving his country in Korea and WWII. His stats still speak for themselves. Career statistics AVG .344 HR 521 RBI 1839 Teams As Player Boston Red Sox (1939-1942), (1946-1952), (1953-1960) As Manager Washington Senators (1969-1971) Texas Rangers (1972) Career highlights and awards Career Records On base percentage (.482) Awards MVP Award (1946, 1949) ML Major League Player of the Year (1941, 1942, 1947, 1949, 1957)[1] Notable Achievements AL Triple Crown (1942, 1947) Last player to hit at least .400 in a season (.406 in 1941) Oldest batting champ in Major League history at 40 in 1958 All-Star - AL (x17) |

Anyone who reads my blog, knows that I love horseracing. So I have to offer my 2cents here. Sorry....... I know that horse racing isn't seen as a 'real' sport by a lot of people, but if you take in to account that jockeys race these 1800lb animals around a track, going 40 miles an hour, with nothing to support them but their balance, when at any minute a slight bump or a twist could send them headlong into the track, you'd see that they're tough as nails.
Plus jockey's are usually little non-white mud men. White jockey's are rare. There are only two jew jockeys that I can think of offhand, Cohen and Harmataz. And when they ride their jewishness is more important then the ride. Broadcasters never fail to do a segement on somesort of feel good piece on them. For example, last year Cohen rode in the Dubai Cup the world's richest race and a very prestigious one. He had to make it all about himself though by sewing the star of david onto his pants, in show of his support of israel. I was hoping that he'd get himself blown up or something while he was there, but no luck. Can you imagine being a race horse with a whiny jew on your back? That constitutes animal cruelty as far as I'm concerned. You always find that the jockeys that are disqualified the most for racing infractions (whipping too much, drug offences, intereference with the others ect) are non-white. White jockeys are becoming harder and harder to find in the sport. In America at least. So here is a great White jockey! Gary Stevens. Love this guy. He's won every single major race, at least once, and he loves the animals he rides. He's retired now, but he's a breath of fresh air in the broadcasters booth. If any of you have seen the movie Seabiscuit, he played the part of George Woolf, quite an accomplishment for some one not trained in acting. Gary Lynn Stevens First winner: May 16, 1979, at Les Bois Park on Lil Star (first career mount). Career winners: 4,888 in North America; 5,005 worldwide Career earnings: More than $221 million in North America Greatest wins: Kentucky Derby 1988 Winning Colors 1995 Thunder Gulch 1997 Silver Charm Santa Anita Derby 1988 Winning Colors 1990 Mister Frisky 1993 Personal Hope 1994 Brocco 1995 Larry the Legend 1998 Indian Charlie 1999 General Challenge 2001 Point Given 2003 Buddy Gil Plus: Two Preakness Stakes, 3 Belmont Stakes; 8 Breeders' Cup races; 4 Santa Anita Handicaps; 1 Dubai World Cup, and 1 Japan Cup. Top honors and accomplishments: Inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1997; voted Eclipse Award as top jockey in 1998; voted George Woolf Memorial Award in 1996; former president of The Jockeys' Guild; youngest jockey to surpass $100 million in mount earnings, 1993; won 15 meet titles on Southern California circuit; led North American jockeys in earnings in 1990 and 1998. Other notable: Played jockey George Woolf in the 2003 box-office hit, "Seabiscuit." Record: 10/30/05 - Gary gets his 5,000th WIN aboard the filly Joint Aspiration in the 7th at BELMONT. He is the 20th jockey to achieve this goal Riding Titles: Santa Anita four times (1986, 88, 90, 93), Hollywood summer twice (1986, 88): Del Mar twice (1987-88), Oak Tree three times (1986-87, 97), and Hollywood fall four times (1986, 88, 92, 94) Youngest rider to surpass $100 million in earnings, 1993 Inducted into racing's Hall of Fame in 1997. Won the Eclipse Award as the nation's top jockey in 1998. Three career Kentucky Derby wins with victories aboard Winning Colors in 1988, Thunder Gulch in 1995, and Silver Charm in 1997 Two Preakness wins with victories aboard Point Given in 2001 and aboard Silver Charm in 1997 Two Belmont wins with victories aboard Thunder Gulch in 1995 and on Victory Gallop in 1998 (spoiling the Triple Crown bid of Real Quiet, whom he defeated by a nose) Eight Breeders' Cup races including two in 1998 when Silverbulletday took the Juvenile Fillies, and Escena took the Distaff. Won the 1998 Dubai World Cup with Silver Charm Won the 1991 Japan Cup with Golden Pheasant. Won the riding title at the York meeting in England for trainer Michael Stoute in 1999.

Al Unser Sr.
Unser Sr. is one of the greatest Indy car drivers of all time. His son wasn't too bad either. And his brother was also a great driver. Unser has led the most laps of any driver in the history of the Indianapolis 500, at 644. Unser broke Ralph DePalma's long standing record of 612 laps led on the last lap of his 4th victory. Unser holds the record of being the oldest driver to ever win the 500 at 47 years old (1987), breaking the previous record set by his brother Bobby. Unser also won the Champcar championship in 1970, 1983, and 1985. Unser was the 1978 IROC champion. He also competed in the 1968 Daytona 500 and four other NASCAR Winston Cup & Grand National races, all held on road courses with a best finish of fourth (twice). |
