What's more, Clark loves his work. Not many Grand Prix drivers do. "This cruel sport," the U.S.'s Dan Gurney calls it.

Goodyear officials blamed it all on a faulty tire-making machine...
...both Foyt and Gurney faced the choice of making repeated pit stops for tire changes-or risking blowouts and accidents. For Foyt, there was no choice at all. "Racing comes before my wife and family," he said, and a friend added: "A. J. would run with one wheel on top of the wall if he had to-to beat Jimmy Clark."
