February 20th, 1972, AJ Foyt won the Daytona 500 in the Wood Brothers #21 Mercury! He led 167 of the 200 laps and won the race by nearly 2 laps over runner up Charlie Glotzbach.

"AJ Foyt is without a doubt one of the greatest drivers of all time. NASCAR, Indy, LeMans, Can Am, etc. If you put AJ in a car, he was either going to win or come darn close to it! A rough and tumble driver from a rough and tumble era, Foyt’s exploits on and off the track are legendary, and definitely worth turning into a movie or mini-series!" - Stacey
