Carl Scarborough

He drove a number of various tracks here in Michigan. He strictly drove midgets and sprints. A few of the tracks he frequented are: Owosso, Jackson, Motor City Speedway, and Milford Fairgrounds. He also drove in a number of other states.
The first title Carl won was in 1941. It was the Ohio State Dirt Track Crown. Then in 1946 he became the first man in history to win both National Midget and Big Car titles of the Central States Racing Association. At this time he was driving a sprint car owned by Mert Harris of Royal Oak, MI.

In 1953, Carl qualified and drove again in the Indianapolis 500. This time the outcome was disastrous. The day was extremely hot, and he became dehydrated. Due to a number of complications during the race he lost his life. He had offered all he could during his adult life to auto racing, until at the age of 37 there was no more to give. (1914 - 1953)
