Bettenhausen Urges Pension Plan For Auto Racing Drivers
Tony Bettenhausen, longtime driver and U S Auto Club director, advocates a pension fund funded by racing events, led by Indianapolis earnings, to aid drivers after long careers. He notes the win or bust nature of racing and suggests driver contributions alongside prize money. Bettenhausen plans to raise the issue at the next USAC meeting. He starts his 21st season at Riverside and reflects on 20 years in racing with 19 championships and eight big-car wins in 1951. He drives a new car for Indianapolis hopes and a left-offset midget inspired by Indy designs. He also farms near Chicago and touts his souped-up equipment.
