According to Dr Olvey's book it wasn't complications that killed Savage, but tainted plasma...
The Foyt at Daytona in 1983 is a bit of a fraud. Preston Henn put him in the car during a pacecar period for publicity purposes. Made Bob Wollek, who had done all the hard work, mad as a skunk on heat. Foyt only had 2 hours but all the media were around him. They patched it up enough to win together in 1985 though.
