Why is there never been a better racer than AJ Foyt?
He has won everything and he does everything on dirt and pavement. I would like to know which is still a close runner up. Use your head before giving a stupid answer that has nothing to back it up,
I think onetruekev gave you your best answer. My father saw the lead at Road America and he said that the man was incredible. The only other name I have not seen here I think is is Mark Donahue, who has dominated racing sports cars in the early 70s. He unfortunately died during a tire test session. Tony Stewart is currently in this category of large multi-purpose pilot.

Peugeot Joins Alms Sebring Winter Test
Peugeot Sport is one of the ten manufacturers who have signed up for the fourth annual American Le Mans Series Winter Test scheduled from January 28 to 30 at the Sebring International Raceway. The manufacturer will be joining test regulars such as Audi Sport North America, Penske Racing and Dyson Racing from the Porsche camp, Intersport Racing, three Acura teams, and Mazda’s B-K Motorsports.
The striking list of manufacturers joining Peugeot in the three-day Test has representations from Dodge, Ferrari, Ford and Panoz. The event serves as a warm-up for the 56th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring showcased by Fresh from Florida on March 15, the opening race for the 2008 ALMS.
The entry of a Peugeot 908, a diesel-powered vehicle, have molded a belief that the French factory will enter the Sebring endurance classic and offer a nice rematch of 2007′s clash at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Peugeot began on pole position there but Audi dominated the race with the trio of Frank Biela/Emanuele Pirro/Marco Werner taking their second straight victory in the Audi R10 TDI, wrote Nancy Knapp Schilke of Motorsport. The team won by ten laps over the Peugeot of Sebastien Bourdais/Pedro Lamy/Stephane Sarrazin. The Audi trio also won last year at Sebring, the release continued.
At Sebring, the environment will be busy and the ambiance warm. Audi and Acura cold air intakes will be preoccupied too. Penske Racing will be testing its Porsche RS Spyders until today. Dyson Racing, also an RS Spyder team, and Flying Lizard Motorsports from GT2 will also be busy with the tests. Andretti Green Racing, Highcroft Racing and Lowe’s Fernandez Racing all will test their new Acura ARX-01b prototypes January 14 to 15 with Audi testing January 21 to 23, divulged The Auto Channel.
Last year’s Champs Pedro Lamy and Stephane Sarrazin have showcased their talents in the North American-based series. The dynamic duo had to contend with their own teammates in their sister car plus another French team and its drivers. It was a tough race in the season finale. But the duo etched a clever comeback to ink a record. They finished second on the Interlagos circuit in Brazil to their sister car.
“We were under pressure during the race because of problems like our clutch trouble at the start,” confessed Lamy. “I can hardly believe we’ve won the title after such an eventful race, but we are effectively champions!”
Notwithstanding the loss at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Peugeot Sport Director Michael Barge was pleased with their debut season in the LMS. “It’s a marvelous result for Peugeot and for everyone who has worked so hard at Peugeot Sport since the beginning of our endurance program,” he said after their final race in 2007.
