01

Artifact Overview

Photographer Dave Friedman captured and preserved auto racing history. His work -- and his collection of works by other photographers -- documents key races, cars, drivers, and teams. Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant co-drove the #2 Ford GT40 Mark II at Sebring in 1966. Their car died as Gurney led the last lap. Undeterred, he pushed it across the finish line -- and was disqualified.
