Congratulation and Happy 75th Birthday!!! May you have many more and may this be an excellent year for Foyt Racing. An Indy 500 win would make an excellent birthday present! I began listening to the Indy 500 when I was about 16, working in a Houston grocery store rushing back and forth to the break room to listen to the 500 and cheering you on. I remember your old shop off 11th / Toledo Street….quite different from Waller. Now at 57, I am still a FOYT Fan! Indy open wheel racing is exciting and at the same time the cars are sleek pieces of artwork. Your contribution to Indy racing and other racing venues is truly inspirational. YOU are the King of Auto Racing…par none! May the Lord continue to bless you, your family and your Team. Vincent G.


Happy 35th anniversary of your 40th birthday! Tom B.

I received a nice signed photograph of you with the LeMans cars....wishing me a happy birthday....We have many good memories of the racing days at Ford Motor.....Didn't realize how young you were....I'm about be become 90 in February and you're still just a KID! Best Wishes....on your Belated Birthday...... Your Friend HOMER P.


From a long time fan who was in the stands at Indy for every race you drove there. My sports heroes all are stand-up guys with the courage of their convictions and include you, Ted Williams and Bob Knight. Many happy returns. Don M.


Happy Birthday & Many, Many More! You are a true American hero and your story is a modern day epic. What's more, you are nice to your fans, making it very special to attend the races. With great admiration, Kathy Mc. p.s. We have some champagne & will be toasting you!


Happiest of birthdays to you! You are one of my favorite drivers of all time. Happy birthday again. Holly H.


Today is my birthday too! Just a few years behind ya I'm 40 today :). I was so excited a few years back when I learned that we shared the same birthday! One of my favorite racers of all time! Sandie


Wishing you a very Happy Birthday from all the Tony Stewart Fans at the SHR Official Website and Fan forum there ( VIP Garage) I hope that Helmet cake was as good as it looked. Strawberry and Chocolate, yummay!!! Keep track of our boy for us will ya? Peanuts


I was named after you when I was born on November 21st 1974. I have never met you but have tried to mirror my lifestyle after yours. You are tough, smart and savy. You are also a very good person. I live in Indianapolis and have been to every 500 since 1986. My dad has his license plates personalized that say 14 Foyt and Foyt these aren't vanity plates but real Indiana license plates. Anyway Happy Birthday and we are huge fans here in INDY. Also your 35 years in a row of making the INDY 500 is one of the most remarkable streaks in all of sports. It doesn't get mentioned much by national sports outlets but it should. More impressive than Cal Ripken's or Brett Farve's consecutive games streaks!! Happy Birthday!! You're the King!! ajfh


Happy Birthday A.J. Foyt! 75 years and still going strong. Travis B.


Happy 75th Birthday A.J.! It’s been an amazing run so far and we wish you many more happy and successful years to come. – Your Friends at ABC Supply


Happy birthday AJ and may 2010 be a great year for you and your race team. Dale G.


It has been a pleasure and an honor to work for you. Happy Birthday AJ !! Your friend, Becky



AJ, I met you when I was an electrician working on your engine building shop off Maxroy, in fact I just drove by there this morning. I assisted you when the Dyno Fan motor tripped. I really enjoyed talking to your Dad discussing the Duncan Coffee Company. I am a 3rd generation electrician and carry on the family Electrical Contracting business… I have lots of stories relating to you, but I have never been to an Indy race. I only pull for Foyt racing…It was 42 years ago when I worked at your shop, but I have fond memories of seeing the cars and hearing the Dyno. (I figured you were 33 and I was 19). HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND MANY MORE TO OUR HOUSTON HOMETOWN HERO!!! Bill S.


From the Dreher Family in Illinois - Happy, Happy Birthday! We've watched you from the very beginning and hoped and prayed that someday you'd be attending those Indianapolis Old-timers Meetings! There were some years, we wondered if our prayers would be answered, but you made it!!! Thank God for that! And Thank YOU for some great memories! Brenda D.


Happy birthday Mr. Foyt! I say Mr. because you are older now.... Lol. Actually I say that every year to daddy and he knows my sick humor. Seriously though, the whole Cochran family sends best wishes to you! I'm Billy Cochran’s niece (he flew you back to Houston when your plane broke down).....and also Larry’s friend. Enjoy your day tomorrow and let ‘Lollie’ dog give you grandaddy kisses! All our best, The Cochran family (Leila)


Happy birthday AJ and many more. I have rooted for you since my first 500 in 1973, and was lucky enough to see your 4th win. Even though I bet and lost more than I won on your horses at Keeneland and Churchill, you will always be my favorite and the face of Indy Cars and the 500, Rike W.


Happy Birthday Mr. Foyt! You’re the Greatest! Lori J.


Happy Birthday A.J., I've been a fan since I was 5yo. Went to my first Indy 500 in 1967 when I was 12, and was there when you announced your retirement in 1993 . Good luck to you and your family and team. I'll be following Vitor, and see you at Indy. Thanks for all of the years. Tim B. ~~o---o


A.J. Wishing you a happy, healthy year! Thanks for being a true champion and giving us a reason for following Indy Car Racing for so many years! Look forward to seeing you at the track for a long, long time! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Leo & Marilyn McG.


Happy birthday champ!..it is hard for me to believe that back in 1947,1948 and 1949 when me and my dad every friday night went to the "class a " midget races at the champaign il county fairgrounds and watched my heroes like chuck weyant, rex easton, the racing cab driver chuck marshall, bob breeding and others. not till years later when my friend pat richards of houston took me and dale burt to lunch,only then did i learn that you also were at those same races. well you were the absolute best, watching you on a dirt track was like you were a continuation of the car...sitting straight up....just your wrists, and arms and right foot controlling the broadslide......your ability will never be attained again!! and i am proud that we both are still alive and even though it is a long way from champaign illinois in 1947......i hope we both have at least another 10 years left, again happy birthday champ.........Ed D.


Happy Birthday A. J. You have been my Hero since the 70's. I have never had the opportunity to meet you in person, usually due to your having a Bad day but you have always had my support in good times and bad. I remember your first laps around the Indianapolis track after your foot injuries. My son and I stood out in the cold to wave as you drove by with tears in our eyes. Hope you get to enjoy your Big Day and Good Luck during the 2010 racing season. Your fan always, Gayle L.


A.J. Happy 75th Birthday! Another accomplishment from the greatest driver of all time. I am looking forward to seeing you back in Victory Lane, just tell Vitor not to jump on you like Airton did. It has been awesome going to the track each year and seeing you there. On numerous occasions you have spent a few minutes with my family, and those are memories that I, and they will never forget. Your biggest fan, Nathan L.


Happy Birthday A.J. Been a long time since I watched you run with Cotton Farmer and Buzz Barton from Keokuk. Now those were the days~! Dan


Happy birthday, it's 75 and to be 100! A J the best to you and your family. Tom D.


Happy 75th Birthday!! I can't remember when I first started watching racing. I think it was when Indy was on a tape delay those many years ago. I was hooked on racing. There are a few figures in the sports world that make their particular sport big. Without you, racing would be nowhere. Thanks AJ for making Indy Car racing the sport it is today. Happy Birthday again. Dave H. (longtime AJ Foyt fan).


AJ: Happy 75th Birthday from your most loyal fan in the world! I was the little kid in the mid-'60s at Indianapolis Motor Speedway who would follow you around yelling "Hey AJ!" until you would turn and wave to me! Then I would run away back to my mom (I was about four years old). When you won the Hoosier 100 in 1968 I was standing there next to the front left tire while you were getting out of the car doing the same thing, and when you finally got everything off (helmet, etc.) you looked at me, smiled and waved and off I went. I was six. I've been your biggest fan ever since. The way you have lived your life professionally has always been an inspiration to me, and I hope you have 75 more happy birthdays!
Sincerely, Phil K.
