Yeah, the papers focused on the win but people talked about Eddie Sachs for years after that. It was the worst racing wreck I've ever seen. When McDonald's Ford hit the wall his fuel tanks exploded immediately. Johnny Rutherford was injured and is lucky to be alive. Eddie was right behind McDonald and caught the worst of it and his car caught fire too.

Absolutely on all the points you have made. I found this article last week while messing around:

Very graphic, if you have not read it before--especially the infield hospital part.
