Anthony Joseph Foyt IV (born May 25, 1984) is an American football scout and former racing driver.

He was scheduled to continue in the Busch Series in 2006, but the team was bought out and his contract prevented him from driving a non-Dodge car.

[2] In early 2002, he worked for his grandfather's team A. J. Foyt Enterprises in its race shop and as a pit lane crew member for driver Airton Daré.

[2][12] After passing his rookie test at Texas Motor Speedway on October 31, 2002, allowing him to obtain an Indy Racing League (IRL) racing license,[1][13] he progressed to Foyt Enterprises' IRL IndyCar Series team for the 2003 season, finishing 21st in the final standings.

In the 2005 Indianapolis 500 Foyt was involved in an accident with Champ Car World Series driver Bruno Junqueira, who sustained a fractured back.

The season did not improve as the team switched from Toyota to Chevrolet power mid-season[15] and Foyt was replaced for the late-season road course events by Jeff Bucknum.

[19] After seven races,[20] he was released by the team due to poor performances, Atkins merging with Braun and changing manufacturers to Chevrolet.

On September 5, 2006, Foyt was tapped by the 2005 IndyCar Championship team, Andretti Green Racing, to replace injured regular AGR driver Dario Franchitti.

[24]In January 2007, Foyt signed with Vision Racing to return to the IRL for the 2007 season as well as drive with the team in the 2007 24 Hours of Daytona.

[26] Foyt's crew was able to repair the car and get him back on the track where he completed enough laps to finish eighth.

The following week at the Meijer Indy 300, Foyt's crew gave him great pit stops which allowed him to take to lead with ten laps remaining.

[29] On March 28, Foyt seemed to have earned a career best start for an IndyCar Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway for the 2008 GAINSCO Auto Insurance Indy 300 with the third best qualifying time.

[30] His Vision Racing teammate, Ed Carpenter also earned a career best start with the 2nd best qualifying time.

In the RoadRunner Turbo Indy 300, Foyt had his chances of a high finish end as his car was caught in the pits when an accident involving Buddy Rice occurred.

[15] Vision Racing was unable to secure sponsorship to run a second car in 2009, leaving Foyt out of a ride.

[35] Foyt finished 16th on the lead lap as his teammate Vítor Meira was injured in a late-race crash.

After the morning practice session on the final day of qualifying A. J. Foyt IV and his grandfather got in an argument regarding the car's setup resulting in the younger A. J. quitting the team.

[38] Jaques Lazier was drafted in on short notice to qualify the car but was not fast enough to make the field.
