Killed in the horrific crash at the start of the 1964 Indy 500, possibly one of the worst accidents ever seen in motor racing. This somewhat overshadows his career -Eddie was one of the greatest drivers in the US in the 1950's and early '60's. Eddie was particulary excellent in sprint cars, but was established as one of the AAA's best and most popular drivers, having an extremely positive and happy outlook. Also ran a cocktail lounge and motel in Center Valley, Pennsylvania.
