A frustrated Troy Ruttman shakes his fist at the flagman for not getting slower cars out of his way quicker, as he races at Springfield in 1952. Troy qualified 5th, but was plagued with an engine vibration throughout the 100 miler, and finished 12th. The next afternoon, in a freak accident during a Cedar Rapids sprint car race, Troy broke his arm so severely that he was put out of racing for 18 months. The accident effectively ruined his career, just as he was at the top of his game. - #ascot #ascotpark #ascotusa #legend #indy #troyruttman #98
