A Glimpse into Racing History
A.J. Foyt, a Houston native, is celebrated for his unparalleled achievements in motorsports, including being the first driver to win the Indianapolis 500 four times and the only individual to secure victories in the Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500, 24 Hours of Le Mans, and 24 Hours of Daytona. In 1971, at the height of his illustrious career, Foyt commissioned renowned architect Clovis Heimsath to design a residence that would reflect his dynamic lifestyle and personal tastes.
