Dave Lewis's Race Car Stopped on the Board Track at Altoona Speedway, Tipton, Pennsylvania, 1925
01
Artifact Overview
In 1925, pit stops looked very different than those seen in today's motorsports. Pit crews were smaller and stops lasted much longer. Dave Lewis returned to the pit during this race and a broken connecting rod prevented him from finishing. He only made it through 36 laps out of 200, resulting in a last place finish.
