Auto Race Car Driver. A native of Spartanburg, South Carolina, he had moved to Indianapolis on behalf of his racing career. Driving the #42 Stearly Motor Freight Special, he won a USAC championship car race at Springfield, Illinois on August 20, 1960. He then scored a sixth place finish at Milwaukee on August 28, and a fifth place finish at DuQuoin, Illinois on September 5. For these performances, he was considered one of the most promising drivers on the USAC Championship circuit when he tragically lost his life on October 1, 1960 when his car flipped during a qualification attempt for a midget race at Fairfield, Illinois.
