"Winning that race was the greatest thing that happened to me in my life."
Roger Ward first qualified for the 500 in 1951, but his fame gained stature when he hooked up with car owner Bob Wilke and builder/mechanic A.J. Watson to form the fearsome Leader Car Racing team. The trio was known as "the Flying W's." During their time at the top, Ward's finishes at Indy were first, second, third, first, fourth and second, respectively, from 1959-64.
This model celebrates his first win. In typical Carousel 1 style, the model presents itself in meticulous detail.
