Spider Webb
From Formula Rejects Wiki
Travis Leon "Spider" Webb (born 8 October 1910 in Joplin, Missouri, died 27 January 1990 in McMinnville, Oregon) was an American racing driver who competed in the AAA championship from 1939 to 1955 and in Formula One in 1950 and 1955. A successful sprint car racer (he was inducted into the national hall of fame in 1997), he scored four podiums in AAA, but never recorded a race win or top ten championship finish. In Formula 1, he competed in the 1950 Indianapolis 500 for Claes Racing Developments as well as the highly controversial 1955 Soviet Grand Prix for the Argentine Escuderia Hernandez team, in what was sometimes rumoured to be an American plot to obtain Soviet intelligence. He qualified for neither attempt.
