A.J. Foyt on passing of Mari Hulman George

A.J. Foyt on the passing of his close friend Mari Hulman George, Chairman of the Board Emeritus Hulman & Company and Indianapolis Motor Speedway:

“I was really sorry to hear that Mari passed on. My wife Lucy and I were close friends with Mari and Elmer George, we spent a lot of time together. When I was coming up through the ranks we lived with them two or three summers. We’ve been close for over 60 years. We spent many a Christmas together, our kids are about the same age so we had a lot of wonderful times together. She is the one who got me in the horse racing business. She had quarter horses and talked me into buying a horse. I’m still in the horse business. We did a lot of things together and had a lot of fun. She’s going to be dearly missed, especially by me."
