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 11th and bounced back from an early race incident to finish
24th. 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

Anthony's older sister Tonia Foyt married Monte Poe Saturday, November 19th.
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. |
