Flaherty Fails Physical for Memorial Day 500
Fat Flaherty, retired Chicago Irishman and 1956 Indianapolis 500 winner, failed to pass the physical for the Memorial Day 500. He injured his right arm in a Springfield 100-mile race weeks after winning the Indy 500 and a Milwaukee event. IMS chief Dr. Bohner said the arm is recovered for normal use but not strong enough for the 500-mile strain. Forty drivers and crews waited as rain kept the speedway closed.
