| Description |
English: Race car driver Eddie Miller, in Tacoma for the July 5th 1920 Tacoma Classic at the Tacoma Speedway. Miller had been serving the last seven seasons as a mechanic for the Duesenberg team, but he was in Tacoma as a new driver. During practice he had been involved in an accident when his car jumped the course. The car had since been repaired. On the day of the race, favored Ralph DePalma suffered broken connecting rods on his French Ballot, putting him out of the race. Feeling that the crowd would be disappointed, new driver Miller graciously offered DePalma his Duesenberg. Not to be outdone, top Duesenberg driver Eddie O'Donnell offered DePalma his faster car and he drove Miller's with Miller riding as mechanic. DePalma was forced out in the 75th lap with a broken Universal joint on his borrowed car. O'Donnell was the 8th and last man to finish the race, driving Eddie Miller's car. (TDL 7/4/1920, pg. C-1; 7/6/1920, pg. 1) Speedway-115 |
