Keith Andrews Takes a Break in Pits, 1957
| Description: |
Keith Andrews takes a moment to smile for the camera while a Firestone worker checks the tires on the #62 Farina Special. Unfortunately, both Andrews and his teammate Guiseppe Farina (the only European entrant in this race) were unable to compete in the race because Andrews crashed the car during practice. Andrews died from his injuries a short time later. |
