Timeline

1926

Alfred Bruce "Speedy" Thompson (April 3, 1926, in Monroe, North Carolina – April 2, 1972, in Charlotte, North Carolina) was an American stock car racer in the NASCAR Grand National series from 1950 to 1971, capturing 20 wins along the way.

1946

He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital, one day before his 46th birthday.

The medical examiner said that he died of natural causes, an acute coronary occlusion.

He was inducted into the National Motorsports Press Association's Hall of Fame and the Georgia Automobile Racing Hall of Fame.

1950

He made his debut in 1950 and won two of the seven races he competed in 1953 in the #46 Buckshot Morris Oldsmobile (including the 1953 Wilkes 160).

1955

Thompson made 15 starts in 1955 and made a serious attack on the Championship the next year, competing in 42 races in Carl Kiekhaefer's factory-backed Chryslers and Dodges, winning eight times and finishing third in points.

1957

1957 saw a switch to Hugh Babb's and his own Chevrolet's and another third-place result, capturing only two victories that year.

In 1957, he set the 500-mile speed record for stock cars with an average speed of 100.1 mph. This record was quickly broken by other drivers and by Speedy himself.

1958

Speedy drove his own Chevy for the entire 1958 season, and another third place was the reward for his four victories in 38 starts.

1959

In 1959 he became a charter member of the "Pure Record Club" along with Fireball Roberts, Elmo Langley, and Richard Petty who set the fastest qualifying speed in each make of automobile competing.

Another third place in points came in 1959 from 29 starts in a variety of different cars, this time with no wins.

1959 would be his last full-time effort in the series (participating in 24 different racing events including the 1959 Hickory 250) and he left Grand National after the 1962 season, choosing to race at late models at local North Carolina short tracks.

1971

He returned to NASCAR's top series, then called the Winston Cup, in 1971 for the World 600 where he finished 16th.

1972

During a late model race on Easter Sunday, April 2, 1972, at Metrolina Fairgrounds in Charlotte, Thompson had a seizure on the 21st lap, causing him to crash into a rail.
