In todays Chronicle . . .
• What about the possibility of A.J. Foyt IV, who lost his NASCAR Busch Series ride, driving one of his grandfather's cars in the Indy 500?
"Well, no, he definitely won't drive for me. He wanted to go down there (Busch Series) and kind of go on his own, which I gave him my blessing. If that's what he wants to do, I'll never hold nobody back.
"Some of the people that he signed with and some of the things he's got going on, there's no way I'd work with him."
• So is there a family feud going on?
"No, no, no, no. I love him like my own son. I love him to death. He's the one that wanted to go do the things he is. I'm putting a team together. I'm just worried about my own team right now with (Felipe) Giaffone. That's my main driver. That's who I have to worry about.
"Last 2 1/2 (years), we've kind of had our (rears) kicked. I don't like that. I'm working hard to get us back on top."
