Artifact Overview
In 1961, the Indianapolis 500 celebrated the 50th anniversary of its first running. Eddie Sachs and A.J. Foyt battled for the lead for much of the race, but a late pit stop by Sachs to replace a worn tire gave Foyt the opening he needed to take the checkered flag. It was the first of Foyt's four Indy 500 victories.
