- Artle Lee Pollard, Jr. (May 5, 1927 – May 12, 1973), was an American racecar driver. Born in Dragon, Utah, and raised in the Portland, Oregon area, Pollard drove in the USAC Championship Car series, racing in the 1965–1973 seasons, with 84 career starts, including the 1967–1971 Indianapolis 500 races. He finished in the top ten 30 times, with two victories, both in 1969, at Milwaukee and Dover. Pollard died in Indianapolis, Indiana, as a result of injuries sustained in a crash during practice on the first day of time trials for the 1973 Indianapolis 500. The car slammed into the outside wall coming out of turn one, burst into flames, and spun as it headed to the grass on the inside of the short chute. The chassis dug into the grass and flipped upside-down, slid a short distance and then flipped back over as it reached the pavement again in turn two, finally coming to a stop in the middle of the track. The total distance covered was 1,450 feet (440 m). The car was demolished. The impact tore off two wheels immediately, and the wings were also torn off during the slide. Pollard's lap prior to the crash was timed at a speed above 192 miles per hour (309 km/h). He was found unconscious, and was rushed to Methodist Hospital in the new . Pollard never regained consciousness, and his injuries were reported to include pulmonary damage due to flame inhalation, third degree burns on both hands, face and neck, a fractured right arm, a fractured leg, and a severe spinal cord injury. He was pronounced dead approximately one hour and three minutes after the accident. Pollard had turned 46 one week before he died. Pollard, away from racing, worked as a car dealer and mechanic and worked with mental health charities. Pollard also served in the United States Navy for a time. (en)
- Art Lee Pollard, jr. è stato un pilota automobilistico statunitense.Cominciò la sua carriera di pilota correndo nel 1965 nella USAC American Championship car racing, senza però ottenere risultati significativi. Nel 1973, durante le prove della 57ª edizione della 500 Miglia di Indianapolis, Pollard fu protagonista di un incidente che gli costò la vita. A causa di un guasto tecnico, a pochi giri dalla fine, Pollard perse il controllo della sua vettura, andando a sbattere contro la parete a bordo pista. La monoposto cominciò a perdere carburante e dopo aver ancora percorso circa 400 m, capotandosi a testa in giù e facendo scintille, si sviluppò un principio d'incendio, che coinvolse il capo del pilota; le fiamme vennero tempestivamente spente, ma Pollard riportò delle gravissime ferite. Trasportato e ricoverato al Methodist Hospital di Indianapolis, vennero riscontrati la frattura di un braccio, danni polmonari a causa dell'inalazione di fumi tossici, ustioni su entrambe le mani, sul viso e sul collo. Morì in ospedale quello stesso giorno. Pollard oggi riposa nell'Evergreen Memorial Park di McMinnville, Oregon. (it)
