I'll name 4 time Indy 500 winner A.J. Foyt. He was fit as an ox in the 60s and 70s. By the mid-80s they had to widen the tub for the driver because he ballooned. By the late 1990s, he had to be close to 300 pounds if not over.

Holy shit. I remember watching him win Indy in the 70s. I did not know he got fat.

Yeah, he got fat even in the 1980s as the engineers had to widen his March chassis tub to fit the expanding Foyt.
