Who was the last 500 winner to race in USAC AFTER he won the 500? I don't know the answer to this. Counting on one of ya'll to come up with the correct answer.

I would have to believe it is Foyt.

I "googled" that AJ Foyt entered the last USAC Midget race in Texas, a 100-lapper at the Astrodome in 1972.

Gary Bettenhausen won it.

Larry "O":applaud:

A.J. Foyt in the 1982 Hoosier 100.

Aj won the 500 on sat and then went to new breman on sun. Had fast time and then missed the feature!!!!!!!!!!!! Drove mutt anderson car ran a heat and the semi!!!!!!!!!!!

Rutherford won the '80 500 and then ran the USAC none points event in the RCA dome in 1986. I believe that would make him the last winner to run any USAC event after winning the 500.

Was it Al Unser Jr. I remember him running the Hooiser dome in the mid 90's after he had won. but not sure if that was a usac race or not.

I was at that race-and I seem to remember Al Jr. hot-lapping 1 of the Lewis cars, but his Indy car owner at the time (Galles?) wouldn't let him race:thumbsdown:. I believe that was the night Bobby Labonte ran a midget for the 1st time.

The above subject to over-50 brainfade :rolling

O.K., I doubt that this is what you're looking for but just in case it's a trick question, Rick Mears won the '91 500, competed again in '92 when it was still sanctioned by USAC and finished 26th. The 500 continued under USAC sanction thru '95.
