Ted Hartley
Back on November 11, 1923, Ted Hartley drove his race car (the “Hartley Special” – built by his brother Glenn) from Roanoke to the Hoosier Motor Speedway in Indianapolis for the 100-mile race. Numbers were put on the car when they entered, nobody wanted #13 so Ted took it and WON! The average speed was 51.4 mph.
