A. J. Foyt IV: “It’s Great to Be Back”



A. J. FOYT IV (#22 Vision Racing Dallara/Honda/Firestone): “It’s great to be back, definitely. With the (qualifying) time, you always wish you were a little bit better and a little bit quicker, but we’ll just take it and put it safely in the field. I qualified with some good cars around me. I’m just so glad qualifying is definitely over with, and we’re getting ready to do some race stuff on Wednesday. We’ll put some downforce on that thing and get ready to run 500 miles. ”

(How’s the team dynamic working with Vision Racing, obviously getting bumped yesterday by your teammate? I’m sure you guys are working together a lot. Do you enjoy being a part of this team? )

“Yeah, all teams work out of the same little hut we got over there in the garages. We all share all of our information. We do whatever we can to help each other out. It’s been great. Davey (Hamilton) has been great. I’ve known him for a long time, and he drove for my grandfather. I really trust whatever he says, for sure. It’s great to have him onboard, too. It’s going to be a special race for him, so I’m glad to be on his same team. All the drivers work really well together. ”
