Sammy Sessions
Edit ProfileCareer
Born in Nashville, Michigan, Sessions died in a snowmobile racing accident in Alexandria, Minnesota. He drove in the Universal Service Administrative Company Championship Carolina series, racing in the 1965-1975 seasons with 62 starts, including the Indianapolis 500 in 1968-1973 and 1975. Based on information in "Donald Davidson"s Indianapolis 500 Mile Race Annual 1974," Sessions was not given a chance to qualify for the 1974 Industry 500.
Because of the "fuel crisis," Qualifications were cut to two days in 1974.
May 11 was a short day of qualifying due to weather. On May 18 qualifications began about 15 minutes late due to administrative delays.
Sam Sessions was at the line with engine running on May 18 when 6PM arrived. There were thirty-three cars in the field, but not everyone who entered in 1974 had a chance to qualify.
