Foyt talked about running with Vision Racing, which he joined earlier this year after running for his grandfather’s team and a brief stint in the NASCAR Busch Series.

Q. A.J., with your run at Milwaukee, you racked up I think your fifth race in a row you’ve been running at the end. It looks from the stands as though you’ve developed a consistency with your driving that might not have been there before. Do you think it’s the equipment, a change of the team? What would you attribute your run of success here to?

A. J. FOYT IV: “Not to take anything away from my grandfather’s team, it’s just so much easier to have teammates around you to help you get through a weekend. Like a single-car team, you get off track, you come back to the hauler, you think to yourself, ‘What’s going on? ’ Now I can go back to Ed (Carpenter) or Tomas (Scheckter) and ask them what they’re doing differently, any kind of changes they made on their car to make it better. Just makes it a whole lot easier to make me understand what’s going on with my car out on the racetrack to prepare myself for a better race, have a more consistent car throughout the race.
