Ticket to the 48th Annual Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, May 30, 1964

Summary

A.J. Foyt won the second of his four Indianapolis 500 victories in 1964, but that year's race is better remembered for a fiery crash during the second lap that killed drivers Dave MacDonald and Eddie Sachs. It happened as the cars came out of turn four onto the front straightaway. This ticket was for a seat near the accident scene.
