Jack McGrath's Biography
American racecar driver, a major player in the “mighty midgets” at Los Angeles’s Gilmore Speedway in the late 1940s. McGrath won the first CRA (California Roadster Association) championship in 1946 and was dubbed “King of the Hot Rods”. His efforts, along with those of friend and teammate Manuel Ayulo, helped establish track roadsters as viable race cars. The west coast roadsters evolved into sprint cars in the early 1950s.
Major wins at the AAA national level included the 1951 Syracuse and Langhorne 100 mile races, the 1952 Syracuse 100, and the 1953 Milwaukee 200. He finished the 1952 and 1953 AAA championship seasons in second place, and led the first 44 laps of the 1954 Indianapolis 500.
McGrath’s storied 26-lap duel with Bill Vukovich in the ill-fated 1955 Indianapolis 500 ended when the magneto on his Hinckle Special Kurtis 500C’s Offenhauser (Meyer-Drake) engine failed on lap 54. Fellow Californian and two-time Indy winner Vukovich died three laps later in a chain-reaction crash while in the lead.
McGrath died in an accident on 6 November 1955 at Bobby Ball Memorial at the one-mile dirt oval at the Arizona State Fairgrounds in Phoenix. The “Splendid Splinter” lost control of his car at Turn 3, crashed and flipped, dying instantly at age 36.
