Foyt plans to attend every IndyCar race

A.J. Foyt

Four-time Indianapolis 500 winner A.J. Foyt hopes to attend every IndyCar Series race this season.

"I'm feeling good," Foyt told the Associated Press, who had a triple bypass procedure in November 2014 and knee replacement surgery last September. "I kind of stagger a little bit and I'm just now getting to where I can walk again and out of the wheelchair and the walker.

"I made up my mind I wasn't going to walk with no cane. Every now and then, after I've been sitting down, I kind of look like I'm drunk. You don't realize at 81 years old you've got to learn to walk again. Who would have ever told me that, I would have told you you're crazy. I'm getting there. Every day is a better day for me."

In addition to Hawksworth and Sato, Foyt said he expects to field a third car for the Indy 500.

"I hope to go to all of them. I'm planning on it," he said. "Now, how we're going to go? That's something nobody can figure out today."
