Lawrence Jacquelin
Edit ProfileCareer
He was an avid fan of car racing, and a stunt driver with cars and motorcycles. On September 14, 1952, Jacquelin competed in his first and only Cup Series event, at Langhorne Speedway, in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. Starting 39th in the forty-four car field, Jacquelin fell out early due to overheating problems, resulting in a dismal 41st-place effort.
Shortly after Jacquelin was struck with Polio.
He eventually recovered, though not fully. In his later years the lingering effects of Polio amplified and finally took his life.
