APNEW DRIVER
IndyCar veteran Richie Hearn will get a chance to earn his seventh Indy 500 start this weekend after being hired to drive the No. 91 car.
Hearn, whose best finish in the race was third in 1996, hoped to practice for the first time Saturday. His crew had the car on pit lane but never took a lap because other cars were in the qualifying line.
“It’s been two years, but it’s not any different than normal,” said Hearn, now a teammate of Jon Herb. “I just have to focus on getting up to speed safely because we don’t have a lot of time. I’ve been in this situation before, so I kind of know what to expect.”
Hearn’s addition means at least one car will be trying to bump its way into the race Sunday.
ANOTHER FOYT?
Team owner A.J. Foyt already has two cars in the race, and Foyt’s grandson, A.J. Foyt IV, qualified a third car while driving for Tony George’s Vision Racing team.
Now that Larry Foyt, who has been working for his father this season, passed his physical this week, he could drive Sunday if the eldest Foyt decides to put a third car on the track. Larry Foyt has started the last three years at Indy.
But it’s no sure thing.
“I probably won’t (drive) because I don’t want to do anything to take away from the Nos. 14 and 50 operations,” he said. “But at the same time, if it looks like we can easily get in the field, it might be fun to do.”
The slowest qualifying speed is Jimmy Kite’s 214.528.
The eldest Foyt has won the race four times as a driver and once as an owner, and it was Foyt who provided the most Bump Day drama in the last decade when he convinced NASCAR driver Tony Stewart to sit in one of his cars on pit lane late in the afternoon in 2004. Stewart never made a qualifying attempt.
