Johnny Thomson

...of Lowell, MA, was perhaps the top driver to graduate from the New England midget circuit.  Nicknamed the "Flying Scot", he was one of the hardest chargers on the track, but a quiet unassuming gentlemen of the track. He was considered a model citizen, dedicated to his family, who happened to drive racecars for a living.  Besides an outstanding career in midget and sprint cars, Thomson raced the Indy 500 eight times, winning the pole in 1959. He died in a sprint car crash in Allentown, PA in the fall of 1960 at the young age of 38.
