This would be a fantastic addition to your collection! Nearly fatal crash at Indianapolis While driving for Hemelgarn, Fox was seriously injured during the 1995 Indianapolis 500 in one of the most horrifying accidents in the history of the race. After starting ninth with little practice, Fox went low into the first turn on the first lap of the race and spun. His car collected the car of Eddie Cheever, Jr. (ironically owned by Foyt). Becoming airborne, Fox's car was pinched between the retaining wall and Cheever's car. The car exploded into many tiny pieces. Fox was thrown around like a rag doll inside the cockpit. The car came to rest in turn two with everything in front of Fox sheared away. Fox suffered head injuries, and, amazingly, only a bruised left heel. The bruise came when Fox's foot hit Cheever's rear wing. Several other cars were involved in the accident that scattered debris across the south short chute at the track. Miraculously, he recovered from the crash, and he would even sign pictures of the accident with the saying, "I had a bad crash day, Stan Fox." Fox would lead Friends of the Fox, a contingent of people with head injuries, to the track each May. Fox reportedly never gave up his dream of driving a race car again. - I will ship in a photo mailer for safety.
