LLOYD RUBY PHOTO SCRAPBOOK 

Texan Lloyd Ruby, considered by many to be the greatest driver NOT to win the Indianapolis 500, passed away at the age of 81 on March 23, 2009.  Ruby is seen here in 1949 at Chicagoland's Raceway Park behind the wheel of Bob Nowicke's No. 68 midget.  Ruby defeated Bud Koehler that year in a hard fought battle during the track's 50-lap Mid Season Championship race.
