Big George Foreman in Indy driver’s seat

Former two-time heavyweight champion George Foreman is looking into building an IndyCar race team, according to the Associated Press. On Friday, Foreman toured Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California, along with Sugar Ray Leonard, and met with Mario, Michael and Marco Andretti to discuss his interest in the sport.

“We are exploring starting a team. I wanted to meet everybody first of all,” Foreman told the AP.

Foreman also met with other IndyCar team owners and has indicated that he would like to join an established team before building his own.

“I’d like to be associated with some good drivers and see them cross the finish line first, said Foreman. “I have a lot of fans and they can’t find me in the ring any more, so this would be a place where they could find me.”
