DAYTONA BEACH, FL — February 12, 1960: A wrecker operator helps remove Tommy Irwin’s 1959 Ford Thunderbird from Lake Lloyd at Daytona International Speedway. Irwin was involved in a first lap crash during the first 100-mile qualifier for the upcoming Daytona 500 NASCAR Cup race and spun off the backstretch into the lake, becoming the first racecar ever to take the plunge. He managed to scramble out unhurt before the car became submerged in the water. (Photo by ISC Images & Archives via Getty Images)
