Mel Kenyon Faces Unique Indy 500 Challenge
Indianapolis star Mel Kenyon, a five year Indy 500 veteran, races with a special glove strapped to his left arm after a 1965 Langhorne crash left his hand damaged. The glove clamps to the steering wheel to keep a grip as his left hand often goes numb. Kenyon has returned to top form, finishing high in past Indy 500s while noting championship cars demand more work than midgets. He plans to continue racing midgets for fun when possible. His main concern on race day remains surviving the first lap.
