Indiana driver Joe Thorn pursues top finish after hard path
Indiana based racer Joe Thorn, a lanky millionaire, has learned there are no shortcuts in the sport as he targets the May Indy 500. Thorn failed to qualify in earlier attempts in 1936 and 1937, won a flat race in 1938, placed ninth in 1939, climbed to seventh in 1940, and now eyes the $100,000 prize in 1941. Sidelined by his early struggles, he remains determined to advance against wealthy rivals. Wally Schang of Philadelphia Athletics once hit a right handed homer in a Yanks game and later slugged another left handed four-bagger.
