The Dominator: Bill Vukovich after his 1954 Indianapolis victory. He won in 1953, crashed near the end while leading in 1952 and died in a crash while leading in 1955.

Chuck Stevenson drove for J. C. Agajanian (in cowboy hat) in 1954, winning the Rex Mays Memorial in Milwaukee in June. On Sept. 6, Clay Smith, Stevenson's mechanic and friend, was killed in a pit accident at DuQuoin, Ill., and Stevenson was never the same. In this photo, Smith is standing at the rear of the car, in white trousers.
