From the legendary AJ Foyt in his weekly USA Today column.
I flipped a car once after the checkered flag but that was because I was ticked off and really chunked it into the turn and hooked a rut. I learned my lesson and I'll bet Franchitti has learned his, too.OK, but is flipping a race car at 150 to 200 MPH scarier than, say, overturning a bulldozer in a lake? Thankfully we have AJ around to help resolve such questions.
Can we just go ahead and carve AJ's face on Mt. Rushmore?
At the least, we should do whatever it is we do to national treasures.
