DAYTONA BEACH, FL — February 12, 1960: Tommy Irwin’s 1959 Ford Thunderbird is pulled from Lake Lloyd as darkness falls over Daytona International Speedway. Irwin was involved in an opening lap crash during the first 100-mile qualifier for the Daytona 500 NASCAR Cup race and his car became submerged in the lake after he got out uninjured. The car was left in the water until after all racing activity for the day was completed. The incident prompted driver Tom Pistone, who could not swim, to install a scuba oxygen tank and breathing apparatus in his racecar just in case he spun into the lake.
