The way I heard it was:

A race-car driver dies and goes to heaven.  He meets Saint Peter at the gates,
and starts to complain that he won't be able to race any more.  Saint Peter
tells him not to worry, and takes him to a solid silver racetrack.  The man is
dumbfounded.  Saint Peter then shows him a solid gold race car.  He says, "It's
all yours!  Take it out for a spin!".  The man gets in the car and starts
around the track.  He's never driven such a powerful, good-handling car.  He's
able to put the car into a perfect drift around every curve.  Everything is
perfect; he is testing his limits as he never has before.

Then he notices a speck in his mirror.  He doesn't pay much attention to it
at first, because he is enjoying himself so much.  Eventually he notices that
the speck is getting bigger. He starts to press a little bit.  Now the car
behind him is obviously gaining on him.  He really pushes himself now; he
doesn't want to let that car pass.  Finally, the car catches up with him,
and flies by him so fast that it leaves him shaking.  He does have the
presence of mind to notice what it says on the back of the car: "A.J. Foyt".

He pulls over to the infield for a little while to steady his nerves, and then
carefully drives to the pits, where Saint Peter is waiting.  Saint Peter asks
him how he liked it.  He says "I was having a great time, but then somebody
blew me off the road.  That A.J. Foyt sure is some driver.".  Saint Peter
says:

"That's not A.J. Foyt.  That's God.  He just *thinks* he A.J. Foyt"
