AAA Drops Racing Sanction After Tragedies
The American Automobile Association announced it will withdraw its sanction of auto racing in the United States after this year due to two major tragedies, including the Le Mans disaster that killed 79 and injured 91 and the death of Bill Vukovich at Indianapolis. NASCAR may seek to take over, with Bill France inviting AAA licensees to race under NASCAR rules if qualified. Anton Hulman Jr. affirmed the 500 mile Indy race on May 20.
