Good call. This was Aug. 12,1962 Terre Haute, #49 was Jackson Wayne Hagemeyer. He was on the Bowes Seal Fast winning pit crew for Foyt in '61, right front tire changer and pit board. Also managed an auto parts store in Indy owned by Rodger Ward during the off season.
He hot lapped the Barnett Bros. sprinter that day as Jim Hurtubise was running late. If Herk didn't show in time he was to get the ride. Herk made it in time and Jackson got in the 49 car that I 'think'?.. was the Sherm Allen car. Hooked a rut qualifying and flipped several times shredding the Cromwell helmet he was wearing. I have a video of this crash.
