Anthony Foyt competed in Formula 1 between 1958 and 1960, making three starts for Kurtis Kraft without recording a podium finish. His single classified result came in 1960, when he finished twenty-eighth. The calibre of the field he encountered included drivers of professional standing; he finished ahead of Bob Veith, Gene Hartley, Johnny Boyd, and Jimmy Daywalt in individual races, all drivers rated substantially above him. His average finishing position across classified starts was seventeenth.[1]
Foyt's brief Formula 1 career took place in the early years of the world championship, a period when the grid included a mix of established professionals and those testing themselves at the highest level. With only three starts and no points finishes, his tenure was marginal; the Kurtis Kraft team for which he drove proved uncompetitive at that level, though it fielded experienced drivers of professional rank. Foyt has since retired from racing.[2]
