A.J. Foyts Birthday and joke (a tribute)
I think my birthday wish is a few days late.
"...about a young race driver who was killed in the (Indy) 500 and went to heaven. St. Peter took the kid to heaven's own speedway, where all the late greats of Indy's past were zooming around.
"Wow! Billy Vukovich," the kid said as one car zipped past.
"Right," said St. Peter.
"And Jim Clark!"
"Right again."
"Frank Lockhart!"
"Bingo."
Then a blur shot by, numbered "14." From the cockpit protruded a red helmet with a Valvoline logo on the front.
"Gosh!" said the kid. "I didn't know he was here. He was leading the 500 when I left a few minutes ago. Did this just happen?"
"No, no, no -- you don't understand," said St. Peter. "That's God. He just thinks he's A.J. Foyt."
