Timeline

1927

Artle Lee Pollard, Jr. (May 5, 1927 – May 12, 1973), was an American racecar driver.

1965

Born in Dragon, Utah, and raised in the Portland, Oregon area, Pollard drove in the USAC Championship Car series, racing in the 1965–1973 seasons, with 84 career starts, including the 1967–1971 Indianapolis 500 races.

1969

He finished in the top ten 30 times, with two victories, both in 1969, at Milwaukee and Dover.

1973

Pollard died in Indianapolis, Indiana, as a result of injuries sustained in a crash during practice on the first day of time trials for the 1973 Indianapolis 500 while racing for the Fletcher Racing Team.

The car slammed into the outside wall coming out of turn one, burst into flames, and spun as it headed to the grass on the inside of the short chute.

The chassis dug into the grass and flipped upside-down, slid a short distance and then flipped back over as it reached the pavement again in turn two, finally coming to a stop in the middle of the track.

The total distance covered was 1450 ft. The car was demolished.

The impact tore off two wheels immediately, and the wings were also torn off during the slide.

Pollard's lap prior to the crash was timed at a speed above 192 mph. He was found unconscious, and was rushed to Methodist Hospital in the new Cardiac ambulance.

Pollard never regained consciousness, and his injuries were reported to include pulmonary damage due to flame inhalation, third degree burns on both hands, face and neck, a fractured right arm, a fractured leg, and a severe spinal cord injury.

He was pronounced dead approximately one hour and three minutes after the accident.

Pollard had turned 46 one week before he died.

Pollard, away from racing, worked as a car dealer and mechanic and worked with mental health charities.

Pollard also served in the United States Navy for a time.

Art Pollard's cousin Brad Pollard and Art Pollard's son Mike Pollard both competed in various types of racing.
