Billy is mentoring his 14 year old son Chad's racing career.

Townsend Bell to replace AJ Foyt IV. Possible headline later this year? I think at this point in time Bell is more qualified and should've gotten a ride this year. But who knows, maybe IV will be the surprise of 2007.

Champ Fan, he is lucky to be alive. I remember the crash, and I believe both legs were mangled, lots of internal injuries, he was in a coma for a while....in short, if he comes back to racing, he is truly tempting fate.....

PS I am 80% sure Boat ran the Chili Bowl this year...
Pretty sure you're thinking of Davey Hamilton's crash in 2001.Quote:

2005 article but should clear things up.
He's gotta be talking about Davey.

I think you should give Mark some negative rep! :eek: ;)Quote:
