Tony Foyt Family Update

When the IRL IndyCar Series ended in October, these fourth generation Foyts negotiated some curves in life's road course. Parents Nancy and Tony Foyt had a busy November...

 A.J. Foyt IV

Anthony switched racing series and teams to become a driver in the NASCAR Busch Series for Akins Motorsports. He competed in the final four races of the Busch Series and will run for Rookie of the Year honors next year. His best performance came in the final race at Homestead-Miami Speedway where he qualified 11^th and bounced back from an early race incident to finish 24^th. He moved from the family ranch in mid-November to his own apartment in North Carolina to be near his new team. The move marks the first time that young Foyt won't have Grandpa as his landlord or his team owner 

Tonia Foyt

Anthony's older sister Tonia Foyt married Monte Poe Saturday, November 19^th. All of the Foyts were in attendance for the beautiful ceremony which took place in Nashville, Tenn. where Tonia and Monte are making their home. Tonia is in the midst of a post-graduate program at Vanderbilt University to become a pediatric nurse practitioner in the Nashville area. Unfortunately Anthony had to miss his sister's wedding because he was racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway in the final Busch series race of the season.
