FOYT TO NASCAR?

Indy Racing League regular A.J. Foyt IV, grandson of A.J. Foyt, recently tested an ARCA car for Evernham Motorsports and might be in the team's plans for the future.

``A.J. was very fast in the car, and we were very impressed with him,'' team owner Ray Evernham said. ``He's probably going to run some Busch races for us later this year, and we'll do some further testing.''

The 21-year-old Foyt is in his third IRL season, but hasn't finished higher than ninth.

``The kid's been struggling a little bit in the IRL,'' Evernham said. ``He has a lot of people who believe in him.

``Who knows what's going to happen in the IRL shuffle? But he could be a guy who ends up in my driver-development program.''

So EyeVee makes an upward career move from irl to ARCA. Good for him. The crashes don't hurt as bad in the big leagues with all that steel cage around you.

I'm sure that Evernham will just love it the first time A.J. tries to tell his crew what to do with the car setup. :laugh:
