Goofy question maybe, but who's the guy in the red hat and is he the same guy driving the Hurst Olds Pacer in this 1972 event pic...or was the hat passed around or what? .

That red hat is killer!

The man wearing the red had is Harlan Fengler. He was a veteran of the board tracks in the 20's and drove in the 1923 "500" finishing 16th. He was Chief Steward of the "500" from 1958 to 1974.

Thanks John! .

As usual, the knowledge on this board is second to none! .

I'm sure Harlan would have to be gone now...I wonder whatever happened to the hat? .

There are also plenty of pics of Harlan in that hat driving my Pace car.

Reading online, it appears Harlan was one of the original co-founders of CRAGAR!

That hat's done a lot of laps...here's Harlan and the hat at the '63 race! .

Charley!

Any truth to the rumor that you found that hat in the trunk of #92?

[Charley Lillard]

I wish..... I am assuming Harlan is no longer with us but I wonder if his family has the hat ? Would be neat to have.

[bigblockpace]

I'm pretty sure he is gone. I tried to find him for an interview.
Here is another shot! His hat is as red as AJ's!
