I believe (correction welcome) the first father-son racers in the Indianapolis 500 were Earl Devore (1925-1928) and Billy Devore (1937-1948).
Billy was also the first driver to race a 6-wheeled car in the Indianapolis 500 (1948).
Earl was the first and last Indianapolis 500 driver to die being eaten by a shark (1928).Last edited by Stan Reid; 16th May 2016 at 03:24.
