Artifact Overview
David "Swede" Savage started racing soap box derby cars at age five, and then progressed through go-karts and motorcycles as he grew. He raced in NASCAR and IndyCar events, but he is perhaps best remembered for driving sports cars for Dan Gurney's All American Racers. Savage died 33 days after being injured in a crash at the 1973 Indianapolis 500.
