Penske Entertainment/Indianapolis Motor Speedway A.J. Foyt's new Coyote for 1972 had speed, but not reliability. |
Welcome to our monthlong countdown
celebrating notable drivers and cars from the Indianapolis 500!
The year 1972 was the last time A.J. Foyt didn’t run No. 14 in the Indianapolis 500. Overall, it was a pretty forgettable year for Super Tex at IMS. He blew the engine on his first qualifying attempt and wound up starting 17th (his speed ranked sixth, however). On Race Day, he had trouble getting going, starting from a comparative dead stop as the field roared down to take the green flag. Foyt was out after 60 laps due to turbocharger trouble, finishing 25th.
