Foyt was recruited to drive, which royally pissed off Wollek, as he figured Foyt would **ck 'ol Bob's chances at winning, since AJ hadn't driven a race like that since the '67 Le Mans. Bob used the f-word on live TV when asked about Foyt, Foyt ran just fine, they won. They teamed up again in 1985.
Ha. Thanks for the corrections. I shouldn't have made the attempt. At least I got Daytona and Foyt correct. Yes, Wollek was a fiery competitor as I recall, but you know my recollection skills. Wollek died in 2001 in Florida when hit by a car while on a bicycle training ride to prep for the Sebring 12 hr. race.
