11. A little diversion in honor of AJ Foyt.
Sun May 26, 2013, 03:42 PM
May 2013

From the Geologic podcast, hosted by musician and skeptic George Hrab. From a podcast segment George calls "Rupert McClanahan's Indestructable Bastards" he covers Foyt's "brushes with the great beyond".

It's an absolutely amazing account of the character of this icon of auto racing.

Here's the segment (5+ minute audio):

And forgive Hrab for his cheesy Scottish accent.

I hope you enjoy this. I did.

AJ Foyt, truly an indestructible bastard.

on edit: and congrats to Tony!
