	Jim Hurtubise Remembered
		Jim Hurtubise may be best remembered as a tough charger who raced U.S.A.C. stock cars, champ and Indy cars, and continued to show his talent as a driver despite a fire at Milwaukee in 1964 that nearly cost him his life.
		Hurtubise won at Sacramento in 1959, at Langhorne in 1960, and at Springfield in 1961 and 1962.
		While Jim’s career spawned four decades, he was the only competitor to race at Merrittville Speedway and go on to USAC and race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, fondly known as the “Brickyard”.
