Longtime A.J. Foyt Racing PR specialist Anne Fornoro revealed that people often suggest she should write a book about A.J. Foyt’s stories, but she jokes that he pays her not to do so. However, author Art Garner was not paid to write the first official biography of A.J. Foyt, titled ‘A.J. Foyt: Survivor, Champion, Legend,’ set for release on October 1 by Octane Press, available for pre-order now. The biography provides insight into Foyt’s early life, born in 1935 amid the Great Depression and preparations for Lamar High School’s construction in Houston. A.J., whose real name is Anthony Joseph, had a close bond with his father Tony, who introduced him to racing at a young age by giving him a toy race car powered by a lawn mower engine. Foyt’s earliest memories revolve around his time spent with his father in the garage, setting the foundation for his legendary racing career.
