Indiana speed racer seeks first start for LaFayette owner
Charles Shambaugh of LaFayette Indiana, a garage owner who has built cars for the Indianapolis 600 since 1912, hopes to see his Hoosier Special on the starting tape in the 13th International 500. He has brought the car to practice at the brick oval and plans to continue testing ahead of race day. His link to racing history includes Roscoe Sarles, a former driver who began with Shambaugh and later died in a Kansas City race after a midair crash while avoiding another car.
