AJ ran the Bowes Seal Fast Special at Indy in 1960 and 1961 and the Sheraton Thompson Special at Indy in 68, 69 & 70.
60=25th 61=1st 68=20th 69=8th 70=10th

Foyt's 1964 win came in the Sheraton Thompson roadster.

The 2 dirt cars
When Foyt joined Bignotti Bowes in 1960 I believe the Bowes Seal Fast dirt car was a new Meskowski chassis that was run until late 1963, changing to Sheraton-Thompson livery by that time. Bignotti had a new Meskowski late in 1963 for Shirley Anstead and Bill Murphy who owned the team by that point and that dirt car was run until the end of the 1968 season by AJ when the team got a new car for 1969. I believe the old car was run by Roger McCluskey in 1969 when he teamed with AJ. |
