KEN’S FATAL CRASH - 17th AUGUST 1966

After a fantastic year of racing for Ken and his team including wins at Sebring and Daytona plus the race he could have won at Le Mans.

It was August 17th 1966 at the Riverside International Raceway in California. The Shelby American Crew were testing a Ford known as the J-Car. Ken was in the car and all was going well until the final lap on the final day of testing.

As he approached turn 9 which was also at the end of the lap, the car left the road and broke into two, bursting into flames in which Ken died instantly.

Ken son Peter was at the test. He got to the scene as fast as he could. Peter wanted to get him out of the car, but was informed by a member of the crew that he wasn’t in the car. He had been flung out and was lying in the dirt with his helmet next to him.

It has never been proven what happened with the accident. It seems the car had either break failure or the driveline had locked up.

Due to Ken’s death, Ford updated its safety program with a stronger roll cage and changes to prevent fire.

RIP KEN

Scott is known as a friendly and humble guy in the paddock who seems to get along with most drivers. He's got a playful personality. He likes to celebrate his wins with a "wombat roll", or doing a somersault in victory lane when he exits his car. While appearing in inflatable costumes and a pink "Glamping Squad" t-shirt in episodes of Bus Bros, Scotty still has fun without his partner-in-crime Josef Newgarden; he wore an inflatable Pikachu costume to a race in Australia during the 2022 IndyCar offseason, and his wife wore a matching Pikachu hoodie dress. Scotty might be the easygoing guy everyone wants to have a beer with off-track, but on track he is a fierce competitor. He and the Thirsty 3's (his #3 Penske squad) enjoy a cult following.

On March 25, 1966, Foyt (and about sixty other drivers) competed at Sebring International Raceway in the first Trans Am race ever held. Foyt was by far the biggest name in the race and challenged early for the lead, but dropped out on lap 32 of 67 lap. A young Formula One driver virtually unknown to American fans despite winning the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans—Jochen Rindt —won or race even though he was driving an under 2-liter Alfa Romeo 1600 GTA. The next day Foyt was teamed with Ronnie Bucknum in a Holman-Moody Ford GT MK II for the 12 Hours of Sebring. The pair battled car problems throughout and finished 12th, 36 laps behind the winners Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby. Despite the car problems the pairing seemed like a good match and Foyt/Bucknum were set to drive a Holman-Moody entry in the upcoming 24 Hours of Le Mans.

At last week’s test at Sebring International Raceway, Pratt Miller Motorsports gave the world a first look at their new Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 GT3.R with a familiar yellow livery and their new Forgeline one piece forged monoblock SS1R-GT wheels. Pratt Miller Motorsports will campaign the new factory-homologated Corvette racecar as part of a 2-car racing effort in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD PRO class, beginning in the 2024 season. Pratt Miller worked with the team at Forgeline Motorsports for several years to develop an application-specific version of Forgeline’s center-locking one piece forged monoblock SS1R-GT wheel that was engineered to deliver optimized performance metrics (in terms of mass, deflection, strength, and durability) specifically for the new Corvette GT3.R. Each Chevrolet C8 Corvette Z06 GT3.R will compete on 18×12.5/18×13 Forgeline one piece forged monoblock SS1R-GT wheels finished in Gloss Black!
