Bad Combinations: Larry Foyt and NASCAR

[@bodinefan1126]

I'll never forget that great qualifying run at Honestead in 03. His crew chief was so happy.

[@mitchcolburn1216]

He was ass and a half but that Harrah’s intrepid was gorgeous. Pretty much any Intrepid, really. Best looking stock car of all time.

Its too bad they werent better than what they were ,

Well two things. They never should have switched to Dodge. If memory serves, I think some of those were old Melling Dodges. I know the Arnold team bought a bunch of Melling Dodges and I thought I remembered hearing AJ did the same. Regardless, they should have stuck with GM. Larry should have never been the driver and focus of the team. It's like the Lance Stroll situation. Difference is, Aston Martin is a capable team, AJ Foyt's team never really got off the ground

@@therobbinsnest45 I want to say 05 or 06 was the end of Foyt racing in NASCAR .

Another driver who didn't win a single race in the lower divisions and only moved up to cup because sponsorship $$$ talked...pathetic.
