In Memory of Allen Crowe
November 12, 1928 - June 2, 1963
Born in York, Illinois, Crowe died in New Bremen, Ohio
from injuries sustained in a Sprint Car Race at New Bremen Speedway.
He drove in the USAC Championship Car Series,
racing in the 1961 - 1963 seasons with 15 starts,
including the 1962 and 1963 Indianapolis 500 Races. He finished in the top ten 6 times,
with his best finish in 5th position in 1962 at Syracuse.
Allen cut his eye teeth at Springfield's Speedway. Starting in the Stock Cars and moving
and moving up fast, he soon became a first class chauffer. It was a real honor to see Allen
driving with the Best of U.S.A.C. and be able to herald him as a local driver.

Thank you for the info, Indy1808!! I was 9 years old and in the infield on the back straight when he died. I'm almost positive it was the Iddings car.
