:thud
That is all.
Christy, I think I put this in the wrong spot...move it if you want.
(If you don't know who that is, that is AJ Foyt IV.)

If I'm not mistaken, AJ was on NBS 24/7 for a millisecond last night (when Doug Stringer was talking to the pit crew before the race). It was just a glance - they probably didn't want to show too much of him out of respect for Mike Wallace, since I believe AJ is going to run the 38 for the rest of the year after the Charlotte race instead of Mike.
I wouldn't have recognized AJ( never seen him before) if I hadn't seen some video at the beginning of Wind Tunnel yesterday morning - he has gorgeous shoulder-length hair now. (What is Great Clips going to do with that, ha!)
He is very good-looking B) and will probably be fun to follow on NBS 24/7 next year (which may be a reason he got picked, along with his famous name!). I love that show. But I do wonder if a rookie stock-car racer is what that team needs. The car doesn't seem to run that great even when it's not wrecked, so I don't know that AJ or Doug Stringer is going to be very happy with each other. I guess Ray Evernham is just monitoring AJ to see what he can do.
Speaking of NBS 24/7, I don't think I want Erin running the Fitz -Bradshaw 40 car - ever. (I believe I read here that she may run a few races this year in the 40 in some sort of agreement between Fitz and Evernham, but that may have changed.) From what I've seen on NBS 24/7, that car always seems to break down before the race is over, and she just doesn't need any more problems this season. (Go Erin!)
Oh, AJ is 21. :)

Great....Just what we needed...another hottie for all the women.
There need to be more Erin Crocker's out there. Us guys need something to look at.
The face sort of reminds me of Kurt Busch--must be the chin. But he doesn't have the ears...

heres a couple of pics of him with longer hair


sorry they are so big...
smokeyslost - October 11, 2005 04:23 PM (GMT)
for some reason I have the urge to punch him in the face.. maybe just to take the pretty out of him.
well.. you girls have fun with this one..
Princess_Sara400 - October 11, 2005 04:32 PM (GMT)
he's cute but not as cute as Kasey.
colleen313 - October 11, 2005 05:20 PM (GMT)
So, how do you all think he will do?

I don't think he's going to do well. First, the 38 team is terrible and will probably continue to be so next year. Second, AJ is awful in the IRL but he was in his grandfather's crappy car so you never know.

:) I'm actually interested in him because he'll probably be on NBS 24/7 starting in a couple of weeks and I usually end up kinda liking all those drivers. If not for that, I wouldn't be paying much too much attention. I do wish him luck, though... he'll probably need it in the 38! His hair in those pictures is long, but yesterday on TV it seemed even longer.

In this article, he's never placed higher than ninth in three years in the IRL. I didn't know his IRL equipment was bad - sounds like he's going from one bad car to another! I wonder what Tyler Walker thinks of all this. :unsure:

Foyt will conclude his three-year IRL association in next week's season-ending race at California Speedway. He has never finished higher than ninth in a league race, although some of the blame lies with a Toyota engine that has been inferior to the Hondas and Chevrolets the past two years. The team switched to Chevys in August, and Foyt responded with a ninth-place finish at Kentucky Speedway. He also finished on the lead lap of last month's race at Chicagoland Speedway....
Foyt realizes going out on his own might be the biggest change he faces. "I'm going to have to pay my own bills and get my own normal paycheck," he said. "I've grown up a lot in the past few months, and I'm looking forward to doing this. It's definitely going to be nerve-wracking though." |

I just remembered hearing this little tidbit this last month:
| QUOTE |
| Akins Motorsports must find a driver for 2006 after its primary driver the last three years, Kasey Kahne, committed to drive for Ray Evernham next season. Team owner Doug Stringer said he could not discuss candidates for the seat, but Evernham indicated that he would like to put open wheel driver A.J. Foyt IV in a car with a team for which he supplies engines. Akins is the only current Busch team that uses Evernham engines. (NASCAR Scene) (09-15-05) |
Perhaps if Evernham is more involved, Akins will struggle less next season?
Lauren - October 11, 2005 07:13 PM (GMT)
oooh yeah what a cutie :) his nose is kinda big though lol. not as cute as kasey... he'll do! haha kidding kidding... hope he can drive though!
Princess_Sara400 - October 11, 2005 07:33 PM (GMT)
You know what I just noticed?

What do you think? Imagine Elliott without facial hair
smokeyslost - October 11, 2005 08:24 PM (GMT)
sweetchic4289 - October 11, 2005 08:36 PM (GMT)
I dont think hes all that cute... If i had to choose he's cuter with short hair, but personally I don't think hes all that cute. I'll still be a fan though if he can drive. We'll hafta see.
kimmerlh - October 11, 2005 10:58 PM (GMT)
so he is taking over. I will have to see how he does. the 38 team needs someone who can drive that car to the finish and bad.

This is crazy and very uhm bopperish as someone else already said. What is it now? Foytyboppers?
If wasn't hot...would you guys be willing to be his fan?
:rolleyes:
throwsoftjax9 - October 12, 2005 12:20 AM (GMT)
no i really doubt they'd be fans of his if he didn't look the way he did :rolleyes:
AmeriKahneGirl924 - October 12, 2005 12:25 AM (GMT)
Should be interesting to see how he and team do next year. Maybe if Ray is more involved with the team, they will do better. I hope for them, they do!
Good luck to AJ!

True that. SOME PEOPLE have been following this kid since he won an Infiniti Pro Series championship. Since when do looks determine whether or not a drvier is deserving of fans? Last I checked talent won championships,not boyish good looks. Tyler Walker gained fans like you guys because you thought he was pretty and he put anything he could get his hands on into a wall. For Anthony's sake I hope you all find him unattractive and talentless...that should get him a championship or two.

caseymears41 - October 13, 2005 05:03 AM (GMT)
Great way to get the fan girls going :rolleyes:
For the record, I have been a fan of Mr. Foyt's for like forever. I don't remember not being a fan of his. I've known he's had talent even since he won that Infiniti Pro Series Championship in 2002. I've been a fan through those dreadful years in the IRL. I've stood up for him when people have put him done. Now, if you all are just going to jump on the bandwagon "just because he's cute", then you aren't true fans. I've been a fan from the beginning. I've stood by he through these years. Anthony is my all-time favorite driver and always will be. I'm a true fan and will always be one.
KandyKahne09 - October 13, 2005 05:29 PM (GMT)
:thud Woo! When I saw that I was like 'Who is that?' He is pretty cute!
KaseysGurl86 - October 14, 2005 12:48 AM (GMT)
He is hot! I had never seen him before!
your_cinderella16 - October 14, 2005 02:39 AM (GMT)

I just wanted to say for The Record...I don't think He is Cute..Personally in the first picture He looks like a Girl.. :o
And While I am At It I don't think Tyler is Remotely Cute either...I laugh to myself when I hear people going on about him...
Why am I saying all this..Weird..
But I wish Him The Best Eventhough I don't think He will get the chance he deserves at Akins..Even with evernham engines..And that Really Sucks Cause I hate that..And I hate that they are struggling :(
