Lora Lawrence Corum was co-winner of the 1924 Indianapolis 500.Biography
L.L. Corum was born on January 8, 1899 in Jonesville, Indiana to Margaret Hannah Marquette and William Cecil Corum.
During the 1924 Indianapolis 500 Corum, in third place, was replaced by the more well-known Joe Boyer on lap 109 on orders of the head of the team after Boyer's car developed trouble. While Corum received the prize money and was credited with the victory, Boyer received most of the credit from the racing community. Corum qualified for the 1928 Indianapolis 500, but suffered a crash during a practice run on the morning of the race.
Corum left racing in 1933, but returned in 1938 as a mechanic, working for Harry Miller's five car team at the Indianapolis 500.
He died on March 7, 1949 at age 50.Indianapolis 500 results
