Monday 17th June 1912

Born on this day, Myron Fohr, AAA American Championship Car Racing driver who finished second in the national championship in both 1948 and 1949.

Fohr made 25 AAA American Championship Car Racing starts from 1947 to 1950. He won four times, twice in 1948 (at Milwaukee and Springfield) and twice in 1949 (at Milwaukee[1] and Trenton in back-to-back rounds of the championship). He finished second in the national championship in both 1948 and 1949. Other than a good finish in the Indy 500, Fohr had a dismal 1950 season, failing to qualify several times. His last Champ Car appearances came in 1951 when he failed to qualify for both the Indy 500 and the following race at the Milwaukee Mile.

Fohr also won a number of AAA-sanctioned stock car feature races at his hometown track, the Milwaukee Mile.
