Foyt, Luyendyk Fined

Auto racing

July 11, 1997

THE INDY Racing League has fined A.J. Foyt and Arie Luyendyk for their altercation following last month’s inaugural True Value 500K. Foyt was fined $20,000, and Luyendyk was fined $14,000 for the unsportsmanlike behavior they demonstrated after the June 7 race, the IRL announced Thursday.

Following the race in Fort Worth, Texas, racer-turned-car-owner Foyt attacked Luyendyk when he entered Victory Lane after A.J. Foyt Enterprises drivers Billy Boat and Davey Hamilton were listed as finishing 1-2. Luyendyk was listed in third. Convinced that he had won, Luyendyk charged into Victory Lane, prompting Foyt to strike him twice in the back of the head and shove him to the ground. Luyendyk was later declared the winner after race officials determined that a computerized scoring system had malfunctioned.
