Eddie Sachs

Edward Julius "Eddie" Sachs Jr. (May 28 1927 - May 30 1964) was a driver from the United States. Dubbed the "Clown Prince of Auto Racing", he competed in the Indianapolis 500 for eight consecutive years, 1957–64. By taking the pole in the 1960 race, he is listed as having a pole position in Formula One. But his only victory at Indianapolis was in 1961, after the FIA stopped awarding points for the race.
Sachs was killed in a fiery seven car accident on the second lap of the 1964 Indianapolis 500, which also claimed the life of Indy 500 rookie Dave MacDonald.
