A.J. Foyt
If it had four wheels, A.J. Foyt could drive it…and win.
Over his illustrious career, Foyt made history as the only driver to have won the Indianapolis 500, the Daytona 500, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. His 159 USAC wins are also a record. Foyt competed in the midget car, sprint car, championship car, stock car, and sports car circuits, and while that is not wholly unique, his combined success is unparalleled in motorsports.
